Luxury New Build Home, Hampshire

A contemporary new build house in Hampshire, completed in 2018, designed with a darker and more textural palette than most of our residential work.

Luxury New Build Home — interior design by Matthews Rea

The Scheme

The main living space is double height and organised around an open gas fire set in a dark steel surround. A cantilevered staircase runs up the far wall with concealed LED lighting under each tread and a frameless glass balustrade, so the stair reads as a floating object rather than a structure.

Kitchen and Entertaining

The kitchen is built around a large stone island with brass tapware, and a full height timber wine wall with diamond bottle storage sits adjacent to it. A double sided fireplace clad in heavily figured marble separates two of the ground floor spaces while keeping them visually connected.

Palette and Materials

Dark herringbone timber flooring, textured blue grey plaster to the feature walls, figured marble, brass and blackened steel. The upper living room is vaulted, with a chandelier hung into the apex and deep soft furnishings to counter the hard surfaces elsewhere in the house.
