We bought the house to be near to the centre of town but in a beautiful residential area. We immediately liked the impressive entrance hall and could see that the large garden grounds at the back could allow us to create a contemporary feel in an old property.
Our instruction to Cream & Black was to create a modern minimalist character which entailed knocking down a certain walls to open up the house. The look and feel of the house needed to be light with neutral colours to help show off our art work. A lot of design and building work needed to be done and Cream & Black handled this all with skill and aplomb.
We moved in with the help of Cream & Black and the whole process was exceptionally smooth despite the challenges of Covid 19. In a very short space of time it became home to my wife, myself and our 15 year old twins. They both loved their bedrooms and workspace which was exceptionally designed. As busy people running a worthwhile charity, we did not have a lot of time to spend on details. Effectively we handed everything over to Cream & Black and they did not disappoint, giving care and attention to the minutest detail.
