The Garden at the Lord Dudley

We decided against replicating Olde English or doing a contemporary update. Instead, we were heavily inspired by the artist and designer, William Morris. This garden conservatory transforms a dark, underused basement, into a calm, light-filled, and intimate venue, reconnecting it to the outside. The dining room and bar are atmospheric, authentic, finely detailed, and exquisitely realised, with bespoke Artisan-made and fabricated details to create space that exudes warmth, comfort, and civility.

Even one of Ghoniems’ favourite textiles was transcribed onto the ceiling void by hand and framed with painted dowels to assimilate bamboo. Faced with the deluge of copycat interiors, this project is a striking reinvention of the tradition-meets-modernity genre." - Elena Castle, INDESIGN Live
