01 · Client brief
Part of a substantial family-home extension, this room needed to work as a relaxed social centre while making space for a custom-built bar.
Residential · Chorleywood
Chorleywood Living Room & Bar
A family living room and custom bar brought into one considered flow.
02 · Design direction
Early sketching and layout studies were used to map how the room should hold conversations, lighting and the relationship between the bar and the main seating area.
03 · Materials & mood
The direction paired warm timber ideas with darker anchoring elements and layers of comfortable seating so the room could feel open without losing intimacy.
The room journey
Enter the room, then let it unfold.
Move across the scene and follow each stage in order. The room opens from a first impression into its composition and the details that resolve it.
Designed as a quiet visual route rather than a catalogue: one room, one decision, one focal point at a time.
