All selected work

Every detail drawn, every detail made.

We bring no house style. We listen to how a family lives, then draw the rooms, the furniture and the joinery as one piece of work, and make it in our own workshop. What remains is a home that is calm, honest and made to last.

Architecture, interiors, construction, joinery, furnishing and turnkey delivery. Commission the whole journey, or a single part of it.

Design

Understanding the brief and the site, then drawing every room and every piece.

Build

Making the joinery in our workshop and building the interior on site.

Turnkey

Installing, dressing and handing over a house ready to live in.

From first visit to handover.

Our approach in full
  1. Brief and site visit

    We meet at the house or the site, listen to how you live and want to live, and agree the brief, the timescale and the budget. A first layout follows for your approval.

  2. Concept design

    The layout is developed to scale. With you, we set the concept: colour, materials, furniture and lighting, presented in drawings, sketches and samples.

  3. Specification

    Construction drawings for the architecture and for every piece of joinery and furniture, with materials, finishes and workmanship specified. We coordinate with your architect and consultants.

  4. Making

    Joinery and furniture are made in our workshop. Items we purchase for you are inspected before they are installed.

  5. Installation and supervision

    Our team installs the work and inspects the site at each stage for progress and quality, reporting to you on programme and budget.

  6. Handover

    We walk through every room with you, complete any outstanding items and hand the house over.

Made to outlast time. Value beyond the trend.

Since 2018 our studio has drawn and made rooms for private clients. In 2026 it took a new name, MONTRIUM, and a mark taken from marquetry.
