Set within the leafy surroundings of Kirk Ella in Yorkshire this striking self-build home on a garden plot is the epitome of contemporary architecture and modern construction methods – but the glazing specification owes a little more to tradition in that it pulls through traditional style to incorporate a nod to traditional style.

There’s a Grade II* listed country house in Kent that having fallen on tough times has been acquired by new owners who have set about transforming it back to its Victorian opulence. Back to being a genuine, family home at a time when most similar buildings make their way as hotels, conference centres and the like. And in some small way, Stelrad’s radiators are helping bring the house back to life by sharing heat around this huge 29,750 square feet property. Oxen Hoath in the

Set within the Surrey countryside, The Clock House is the sensitive restoration of an eighteenth-century carriage house, reimagined by NK Living as a warm and characterful family home. Originally dating back to the 1770s and once part of the Garston Park carriage house, the property has been carefully restored to honour its architectural heritage while introducing the comfort and functionality required for modern family life. Purchased by owners with a deep appreciation for

With expert advice from Croft... Architectural hardware is used throughout the home, but what works well in a kitchen is not necessarily the right choice for a hallway, bedroom or staircase. While coordinating finishes and designs can help create a consistent look, scale, comfort and function should also influence what is specified in each space. Paul Clifford, Managing Director at British architectural hardware manufacturer Croft, shares his room-by-room advice on choosing h

A dental clinic that transforms smiles has itself been transformed by the organic, sculptural forms of thermoformed HIMACS, integrated with atmospheric lighting. Healthcare interiors are often associated with straight lines, hard surfaces and a predominantly bright white aesthetic. At the Only Smile dental implantology clinic in Romania, the Atvangarde Design Team has taken a different approach. Flowing curves, sculptural fitted furniture and carefully integrated lighting cre

The beauty of architectural hardware lies in the craftsmanship behind it. What may seem like a simple door handle or cabinet pull is, in reality, a carefully orchestrated process of shaping, refining, polishing and finishing. Each stage contributes to the material's depth, tactile appeal and visual refinement, ensuring even the smallest design details make a lasting impression. At this year’s Decorex, British architectural hardware manufacturer Croft will bring that process t

The era of the one-finish kitchen is giving way to more layered, individual spaces. Homeowners are increasingly embracing mixed material kitchens, combining contrasting colours, textures and finishes to create designs that feel more personal, visually interesting and tailored to the way they live. Rather than relying on a single material throughout, combinations of colour ways, woodgrain finishes and textured worksurfaces introduce depth and character. The result is a kitchen

For many hospitality businesses, accessible bathrooms have long been approached as a box-ticking exercise - designed to meet regulations rather than enhance the guest experience. Fitzroy of London believes this mindset is beginning to shift. Today, investing in well-designed accessible bathrooms is no longer simply about compliance; it’s a commercial opportunity. Hospitality venues that create beautiful, functional and inclusive washrooms are better positioned to welcome a br

As contemporary interiors continue to embrace soft neutrals, clean lines and uncluttered layouts, designers are increasingly turning to darker timber flooring to introduce warmth, depth and visual weight. Havwoods’ rich Walnut Cocoa planks exemplify this shift, bringing contrast and a greater sense of permanence to light-filled schemes while creating an atmospheric balance between light and shadow. A Victorian London home designed by Studio 163, is a strong example of the tre

Set within a quiet Cambridgeshire village, Sycamore House is a striking contemporary home that demonstrates how thoughtful architecture and carefully specified glazing systems can transform a site.
