This page: The slope of the land means that the kitchen is much lower than the rest of the house. The sleek, pared-back look comes courtesy of Corian worktops and gloss white cabinetry. Lighting under the cabinets means that it’s a great evening entertaining space, too the rooms to suit family life needs to be thought about at the beginning of the process, as retrofitting can end up being either impossible, or expensive. Emma is an expert at visualising the structural changes that can transform a home. She emphasises that, wherever possible, she likes to be involved at the start of a project, so that costly mistakes can be avoided. “I knew at the very beginning what I wanted to do here and then I knew what I could add to it – a piecemeal approach is not the way, you can end up undoing things, or living with compromise or errors. I like to be involved at the start, collaborating with the architects on the masterplan. If you start by having a clear idea of the whole thing then, whether it gets built in stages or not, everything is thought about. A scheme ideally needs to start from the right point so that it’s cohesive and it’s all one,” she pauses. “Flow. Everything should look fully planned, not separate. It’s about the materials, the things you can see, the details – don’t skimp on the details.” Emma explains that the detailing of windows, doors, external and internal structural features should be integral to the project, not separate to the masterplan. “The architect may not be involved with much of the detail or know where to look for the best taps, what mood the colours make, how to use and maximise the space. That’s my job. “It’s also important to set up good communications with everyone involved in the build. Meetings with trades have to happen. You need to know where to put things, need to think about where the bins are going to go, the washing, the paraphernalia of living has to be managed. You need storage for garden furniture, for the barbecue. It’s about lifestyle design – and then storage to keep the house tidy. I use all the space I can – the study, utility, dressing room and all the smaller areas.” Back downstairs, past the magnificent magnifying chandelier, we head outside to the studio, an architect designed building, which turned out to be a useful place for the family to live in. “We did the studio first so that we had somewhere to live while we were doing some of the structural work in the house,” she says. This building has proved to be a useful investment too, rented out for a while on Airbnb. It has now become Emma’s light-filled office and studio. Inside the decor 65 priceless-magazines.com
