FARMHOUSE DEVELOPMENT

RESIDENTIAL INTERIOR DESIGN, SOMERSET, UK

Situated in the countryside near Bruton, Somerset, this project involved the full interior design of a farmhouse and its adjoining annex. The brief was to convert two outdated properties into three modern and comfortable apartments.

The design takes a contemporary approach to country living while respecting the historic character of the buildings. We celebrated and preserved original features, while rethinking layouts to improve light, flow, and functionality.

​

Architectural quirks such as curved edges and pitched ceilings were embraced rather than concealed, guiding both spatial planning and lighting design and shaping the overall interior style.

Finishes throughout the properties were carefully considered, balancing simplicity, elegance, and longevity. Soft, off-white walls and joinery provide a versatile backdrop, enhancing the sense of light and space.

​

Natural materials and textured surfaces—including cross-sawn and brushed oak floorboards, grey tumbled limestone floor tiles, and oak joinery elements—bring warmth and tactile interest.

In each apartment, we designed kitchens with cabinets finished in a muted green, echoing the earthy tones of the surrounding landscape. Nickel ironmongery and durable quartz countertops add a contemporary edge, while curved tiling around the window reveals introduces an elegant detail that frames views of the countryside.

In the living areas, we incorporated bespoke joinery combining concealed storage with display shelving, and introduced limestone tiling in the fireplace chambers to bring warmth and character.

Bedrooms are fitted with custom wardrobes and luxury faux-sisal carpets made of recycled plastic bottles. Painted wall panelling adds subtle texture and durability, while anchoring the bed within the space.

In the bathrooms, we paired off-white glazed ceramic wall tiles with monochrome chequerboard marble flooring, creating a striking yet timeless finish. Recessed niches in the showers provide practical shelving while blending seamlessly into the design.

"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Rosa and her team on the interior design of our new staff accommodation. Working alongside the team at Tonic Architecture, they transformed the property into well-proportioned, generous, and comfortable spaces. Their expertise, attention to detail, and high-spec approach delivered a result that not only met our brief but also introduced ideas and solutions we wouldn’t have thought of ourselves. We couldn't be happier with the result!"
