Cottage renovation, Norfolk
A 3 bedroom cottage in the grounds of Hockwold hall
Description: The first project of 2019 and I dived into the mammoth task of changing a neglected 3 bed cottage into a space suitable for rental purposes. I was called to help with flooring, lighting, colour scheme, kitchen & bathroom design, soft furnishings and accessories for the entire property.
Brief: a cohesive colour scheme with easy to keep clean interior, sophisticated look and luxury feel.
Application of biophilic design: In this cottage situated within the grounds of the established Hockwold Hall, biophilic design principles were thoughtfully integrated to create a cheerful and joyous atmosphere reminiscent of spring season. A cohesive colour scheme inspired by the natural surroundings reminiscent of time spent away was a priority. Easy-to-clean materials were chosen to maintain a pristine appearance to reduce the use of chemicals and incorporation of lush, verdant plants were strategically placed to bring the outdoors in. The result is an inviting space that exudes both comfort and refinement, perfectly complementing its historic setting. The motto was: practicality without compromising on elegance.
“Jana was instrumental in tying together my various ideas and designing plans through her 3D models for the colour plan of our house. Her vision seamlessly tied the entire flow of energy/ intent for our home. Her vast knowledge, enthusiasm and dynamic approach transformed my project from feeling like an overwhelming journey into a playful and exciting process of creative discovery.”
