INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN
KINGHAM, OXFORDSHIRE
Jigsaw Interior Architecture was commissioned by a private client to provide a full interior architecture and interior design package to modernise this former traditional stone farm outbuilding with a comprehensive and transformative design.
Our primary design intent was to infuse the building with abundant light and a sense of softness, creating a striking contrast against the existing exposed stone walls. To achieve this, we replaced the dark and uneven tiled flooring with bright, uniform limestone tiles throughout the space. This choice not only enhances the overall brightness of the interiors but also establishes a cohesive flow between the old and new areas of the property. The interplay of light and texture adds depth to the design, celebrating the character of the original structure while seamlessly integrating modern elements.
It is through exercising restraint within the design scheme and by celebrating materials that a truly luxurious look is achieved
Numerous bespoke joinery elements were meticulously designed not only to suit the client’s everyday needs, but also to maximise the sense of space in a relatively narrow building. Jigsaw’s uniquely tailored joinery designs for this building hint at traditional forms and techniques, whilst remaining true to the client’s love of minimalism and purity in design imparted through their cultural heritage. Traditional materials such as wood, leather, limestone, brushed-brass and black metal were used in a contemporary way and selected for their timeless quality and tendency to develop a beautiful patina over time.
The kitchen and bathrooms are the most striking design elements which truly reflect Jigsaw’s overall ethos in this project; that, through the simplicity of our design, we allow the quality and essence of each material to be showcased. It is through exercising restraint within the design in these areas and by celebrating the materials selected that a truly luxurious look is achieved. The quality of the materials specified speaks for itself and the relationship between materials, such as contrasting warm timber with cool rough cut stone, affords the finished design a really high-end feel.
“The Jigsaw team are like a family, and they took every aspect of my project very personally with their thoughtful and experienced eye, and I have really enjoyed working with them on Felloes Barn.”
