Specialist spaces

A room for the particular life you want.

Catios or pet washrooms, creative studios, adult sanctuaries, yoga spaces and home gyms — the kinds of rooms that rarely appear in a standard renovation brief, but matter just as much as any considered room in the house. We design and build them for the life you want to create.

Why we love this work

Niche spaces are best built by people who have a passion for bringing them to life.

A catio, a meditation room, a home studio or a sensory space begins with a brief that is properly understood before a single drawing is made. Whether that’s soundproofing, hidden access, hardpoint installation or fold-away adaptations — we love getting these special and unusual rooms just the way you want them.

The more specific the need, the more carefully the design has to listen. A catio that keeps a cat safe and a human happy. A yoga space that feels calm before you touch the mat. A hide-away adult sanctuary that lets you be playful without apologising for it.

What this covers

Specialist spaces, designed around the person who will use them.

  • Catios & outdoor pet spaces

    Safe, enclosed outdoor rooms for cats, with fresh air, planting, seating and a view, designed to look like part of the garden.

  • Playful spaces

    Adult hobby rooms, game dens and creative spaces built with privacy, personality and the right finishes for the activity.

  • Home studios

    Music rooms, art studios, craft workshops and maker spaces, designed around light, storage, acoustics and the mess you actually make.

  • Yoga & movement rooms

    Calm, clutter-free spaces for yoga, Pilates, meditation or movement, with considered flooring, light, temperature and storage.

  • Home gyms & wellness rooms

    Compact training spaces, treatment rooms, saunas or recovery spaces that feel considered rather than makeshift.

  • Sensory & retreat spaces

    Quiet rooms designed for neurodivergent needs, rest, or simply a place to decompress without the house interrupting.

How we approach it

“The more particular the brief, the more important the conversation.”

A specialist room only works when the designer has understood the habit, the ritual, the frustration or the joy that the room is meant to hold. We start with that, the human detail, and let the drawings follow.
