Timber

Mostly oak and Australian hardwoods, finished with hardwax oils or low-sheen lacquers. Timber moves and mellows, and we design for that rather than against it.

Stone

Natural stone is porous and alive: it etches, patinas and softens with use. Engineered surfaces are tougher and more uniform. We will explain the trade-offs honestly for your household.

Tile

From hand-cut zellige to large-format porcelain. Smaller, handmade tiles give life and movement; larger formats mean fewer grout lines and calmer walls.
