Mazarine longlisted for the DeZeen Awards

We are delighted to be longlisted for a DeZeen Award for our Mazarine project. The project has been recognised for its interior design out of 4,130 entries from 82 countries, so we are super chuffed.

Mazarine is a two-story family home in London, combining two mansion apartments to create a home that evokes the warm climate and rich culture of India.

The client’s art collection provided a unique insight into their personalities and an avenue for us to explore a design that is as personal to them as their collection.

The property features a curved stairway, which channels natural daylight into the home.

The kitchen, the main focal point of the communal areas, is adorned in vibrant hues of Blazer red and Mazarine blue, from which the project takes its name.

Wish us luck and stay tuned for updates.

The Judd featured in The Guardian!

Super excited to be featured as a double page spread in The Saturday Guardian this week.

Always interesting to see someone else’s interpretation of a project, the article was really well written by Charlotte Luxford and beautifully photographed by Michael Franke.

Winter Workshop 2023

We are re-launching our successful Winter Design Workshops, where we invite you to come to our studio for an in-depth discussion to unlock the potential of your home. All we ask in return is a charitable donation to Crisis to pay for 10 people to have a safe place to stay this Christmas.

 

Who is this workshop for?
Anyone planning a substantial refurbishment or transformation of their home. Perfect as a gift for someone this Christmas.

 

What will the session include?
The two-hour session will be in our London Fields studio. The focus of the workshop will be generating great ideas for your home and sketching them out with you live. We will also be able to advise you on the following;

  •  How can I achieve the aspirations and requirements I have for my home?
    •    How long will the project take and how much will it cost?
    •    What are the next steps for achieving my project and how does the process work?
    •    How can I make my home more energy efficient, comfortable and healthy to live in?

The fee for the session is a donation of £297.30 to Crisis. Your donation will pay for 10 gifts this Christmas that will give people who are homeless a safe place to stay, a Christmas dinner, access to health and wellbeing programmes and support to leave homelessness behind for good.

(Please note, once payment has been made to Crisis, we cannot offer a refund).

Our workshops can often sell out within the first few hours. If you miss out on a slot this time round, please send a description and details of your project to hello@b-vds.co.uk as we may open up some additional sessions.

New project started on site!

We have the pleasure to work on a beautiful 3 story house in the Victoria Park village. After going through a challenging planning process we are very excited to finally brake ground. The house will be fully renovated with a stepped rear extension allowing for an open plan ground floor. The rear dormer extension will allow us to add a bedroom with an en-suite in the existing attic space.
