What began as a simple reconfiguration evolved into a carefully layered family home, shaped over two years in response to the changing needs of a young family.

Lewis Knox’s work started with a full spatial review to help the clients realise the full potential of their new property. With a clear goal to improve flow and day-to-day usability, we developed a series of proposals that enhanced circulation and function, forming the basis of a cohesive interior scheme. These plans were implemented in close collaboration with the builder to ensure precision and continuity throughout.

Custom joinery was introduced in every area of the home, creating a consistent visual thread while addressing the specific requirements of each room. Lighting and electrical layouts were drawn around detailed furniture plans to achieve seamless integration. Bespoke flooring, handcrafted fireplaces and a discreet, panelled doorway leading to a private cinema contribute to the home’s layered character.

As family life evolved, so too did the design. Guest bedrooms were planned to convert easily into nurseries, providing flexibility for the years ahead. At the centre of the home, a large open-plan kitchen links to a games room and central bar, forming a natural space for entertaining. Smaller areas were given equal attention: a feminine home office, a dedicated playroom adjoining the kitchen, and a well-organised utility and boot room that can be tucked away when not in use.

Every detail has been designed to serve both comfort and purpose. The games room encourages connection, with a tailored bar that draws people together and deep midnight blue walls that lend a touch of theatre. In quieter moments, the cinema room offers a hidden retreat behind panelled joinery, while the master bedroom brings calm through soft textures and minimal detailing.

The bathrooms follow a similarly tactile approach, combining natural stone, bronze accents and layered lighting to create spaces that feel indulgent yet understated. A soft neutral palette runs throughout the home, enriched by warm timber tones that add depth and balance.

Rectory House is grounded in practicality yet imbued with warmth. Every space invites connection, yet offers a sense of calm and retreat. It is a home designed for the present, and ready to grow with the family into the future.
