Interior architect, country style
An interior architect who knows country.
Country looks simple until you try it yourself. The proportions, the timber and the light all have to be right. We draw it, make it and fit it, with a price fixed in advance.

Why a specialist
Country is harder than it looks.
In a clean-lined interior the simplicity hides a lot. In a country interior everything is on show: the profile of a cabinet door, the height at which the panelling stops, the tone of the timber against the floor. If one of those is off, the whole feels unfinished, even though every piece is beautiful on its own.
We have been drawing interiors like this for decades and we make the bespoke work in our own workshop. That is the difference with a practice that only draws: whoever makes the drawing knows how the cabinet goes together, and whoever makes the cabinet knows the drawing.
- Proportions first: heights, widths, axes
- One timber tone, running from wall to cabinet to table
- A lighting plan with several points and dimmers
- Textured textiles, one pattern per room
- Bespoke work from our own workshop, fitted by our own people

What gets drawn
We draw everything.
01
Survey drawing

- We measure ourselves, you supply nothing
- Old and crooked houses too
- The basis for everything else
02

- Your own room on screen
- Price per item, not a lump sum
- Everything in writing before production
Materials
Solid, veneer, melamine or lacquer.
No single material is best everywhere. We work with solid timber, veneer, melamine and lacquered MDF, and choose per room according to use, visibility and budget.
Visible timber we finish ourselves with oil or stain in our own workshop. That way you choose the tone to suit your floor and your daylight, instead of taking whatever happens to be in stock.
In a country interior that is crucial: floor, panelling, cabinetry and dining table all have to work together. One tone too red or too grey and the whole falls apart.
In the spotlight
Work from our own projects.
A cross-section of what we have furnished over the past years, from country house to penthouse. Hover over the series to stop it, or drag it along yourself.
House in Meerdonk One dossier, eleven rooms. Kitchen, living room, dining area, hallway, bedrooms and bathroom came from the same design. That is why the same tone returns everywhere.
From our projects
Country work up close.
When to bring us in
The best moment is earlier than you think.
We are often called once the wiring is already run. By then a great many decisions have been made, usually without anyone intending it that way.
-
01
For a new-build
Before the electrical drawings are fixed. Light points and sockets follow from the layout.
-
02
For a renovation
Before you knock down or keep walls. A relocated opening sometimes solves more than an expensive kitchen.
-
03
In an older house
Before the painting. The wall colour is chosen once the timber tone is settled.
-
04
For a single room
Always a good idea. We keep the design, so a second phase still matches.
What makes us different
Three things that aren't a given.
01
We make it ourselves
The bespoke work comes from our own workshop, with profiles that match from wall to cabinet to door surround.
02
We fit it ourselves
Our own team fits and finishes. No arguments between designer, supplier and fitter.
03
The price is fixed in advance
A detailed quotation before anything is made, and that quotation stands.
Country rarely fails on taste. It fails on proportions.

Frequently asked questions
About working with us.
What does an interior architect cost with you?
If you have the whole project built by us, the design is included: 0 % fee on items from our collection. For our subcontractors 10 %, for contractors you choose yourself 16 %, each excluding VAT. Everything is on rates and 3D.
What if I drop out after the design?
If you stop after the first presentation, you pay a 2 % fee on the quotation or the stated budget, with a minimum of 500 euros excluding VAT. You take the design with you, without dimensions.
Do you only do country?
No, we work in every style, from classic to modern. Country is simply the direction we have the most experience in.
How long does it take?
We present the first dossier within three months of signing. The building work then takes 4 to 18 weeks, depending on the scale.
Can I keep my own furniture?
Yes. Pieces you want to keep are drawn into the 3D design, so you can see beforehand whether they hold their own beside the new work.
Do you work with my architect or contractor?
Yes, that happens often. We take on the interior and coordinate on services and scheduling.
Do you also do a single room?
Yes. Many clients start with the living room or the kitchen and extend later.
Can I just talk it through first?
That is the idea. The first meeting and the budget estimate are free and commit you to nothing. You can pick a moment straight away.
