The Garden Apartment was originally built as servants’ quarters in a 1902 house but had been repurposed as a rental property. With a complete refurbishment, the brief was to modernise it whilst making it practical and inviting. Set close to Canterbury city centre and Kent University it could be for a romantic weekend away or a working professional.

We needed to maximise the light whilst adding character. We kept the walls a pale grey throughout, while the dining area and reading nook was a deeper blue tone for a relaxing environment. With light parquet flooring throughout and beautiful oak shelves were added to bring warmth to the rooms.
