Villa Bosque is a family house in Ascot, Berkshire, designed in an English classic language made calm and contemporary: panelled walls, herringbone oak and soft light, from the entrance hall to a garden orangery. Designed by ELE, one of the best interior design studios in Dubai, for a client in the UK.
Our client asked us to design the whole of the house. On the ground floor that means the entrance and staircase, a living room, a study, a snug, dining, the kitchen and an orangery that opens to the garden. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.
The mood board keeps the traditional details of an English home, such as wall panelling, panelled doors and fireplaces, and softens them with a pale, layered palette: herringbone oak, textured linen wallcoverings, warm white joinery, natural stone and touches of deep charcoal.
In the visualisations, a glazed, steel-framed internal door draws the eye from the entrance hall through to the dining room and garden. The study is anchored by dark joinery with lit shelves around a large abstract artwork, beside a working fireplace. In the snug, oak cabinets with glass-fronted, softly lit display niches frame the media wall, and deep cream sofas make it the family's favourite room.
