A project in Richmond village completed 2011. I was asked by some lovely clients to support them through a total renovation. Working with them to transform the dated interior of a beautiful victorian townhouse was a real pleasure. At one point it was possible to see earth in the basement from the second floor landing amidst the chaos and rubble, so significant was the strip out for the renovation. I conceived all the internal layouts, and designed everything for the house. Here shots show the re formed living and stair area with a break in the joinery at the far end of the room to reveal the stairwell and add light into the corridor. Lighting makes a significant difference the scheme. What was left of the original walls to the living rooms was face fixed with a full height mirror, and I used gold leaf on the walls with a secret door to the cloakroom, also exposing brick to the basement. The clients wishes were for totally contemporary house, but I am guided by my clients’ taste and am just as at home designing pretty historic interiors.

As an architectural designer, it is my job to problem solve. When designing spaces and slotting together the internal layouts of a house, I am always mindful of listening and understanding my clients’ brief to ensure spaces are practical, yet aesthetically pleasing. The inclusion of elements like hidden storage and lighting is essential to maximise every inch of space both at ground level and up above. Here, some jib doors hide storage behind taps #architecturaldesign #giselledehasse #dehasseinteriordesign #neutralhome #naturalluxe #designingspaces #interiordesign #internaldesign @giselledehasse
Perhaps designing the furniture layouts for such a stunning space is easy? But when my clients asked me to fill their home with furniture in 2009, I had a huge task ahead of me, not least living up to the immense architectural beauty of the property. The combination of lovely aesthetic and practical living is achieved stage by stage during a process of careful contemplation, vision, imagination and creativity.

They say the mark of a good designer is being able to work in any style. I’m just as at home designing for large contemporary spaces as I am little country cottages... the sunshine is coming, and this little house benefits from 3 sides of sunshine all day long. I’m impatient to begin the rest of the building work to form a new kitchen, courtyard and garden room #renovation #renovationproject #cottageinthecountry #countryliving #neutralstyle #naturalstyle #naturalpaint #originalfloorboards #elbowgrease #transformation #smallspaceliving #smallisbeautiful #smallspaces @giselle_de_hasse

Lovely light in the cottage this morning as the wind blows away grey sky’s.... the house faces south and now the first stage of the renovation is complete and spring takes hold, I’ve begun to notice how beautiful the light is at different times of the day in the house. The cottage is slightly space challenged, and I’m finding practical ways to keep the floor clear. It’s a good job the ceilings are high! #smallspaceliving #cottagestyle #countrylife #countrylifestyle #naturalhome #naturalhomedecor #neutralstyle #whiteandwood #cottagelifestyle

I am so excited to be putting the final touches to finishes and sanitary ware for a current project... bathrooms feature stone from @artisansofdevizes for floors, walls and bespoke basins, tap finishes in black chrome by @vola.denmark. There are three beautiful floor mounted bath and basin fillers also from Vola in the house. This scheme will form a guest powder room comprising black stone floor and basin, black alabastine paint, dark oak storage with planked detailing, a black WC, a mirrored door within a mirrored wall and a ceiling LED strip which will have a pink setting for party time! #simpleluxe #naturalstyle #neautralstyle #naturalluxe #stonefloors #stonebasins #bathroomdesign #designproject

I have designed the concept for the central stairwell on a project. I’m fascinated by clean simple lines, but very much like the analogy of a swan, there’s much detail beneath the mitres and shadow gaps enabling hidden lighting and fixings to produce a beautiful pure aesthetic #neutralhome #architecturaldesign #naturaldesign #dehasseinteriordesign #giselledehasse
I’m collaborating with a client on a current project who just happens to be one half of a partnership who’ve created an exciting new alcohol free drink. @zagdrinks is a totally refreshing alternative to just about anything you can think of that’s fizzy and alcoholic. It’s packed with exciting flavours like mint green tea and citrus, is sugar free and contains kombucha for a lil extra healthiness. It’s available to order on Amazon. Try it! #zagdrinks #af #alcoholfreelife #alcoholfree
I can see this beautiful piece of historic design updated for use in a contemporary setting... perhaps the next of my own projects #architecturaldesign #dehasseinteriordesign #oldandnew
I am grateful to be busy on some fantastic projects at the moment. My clients can be assured of a creative and professional design service, and attention to every detail to assist them on their journey to realise their dreams. #dehasseinteriordesign #architecturaldesign #giselledehasse photo @jamesbignellphotography63

I am supper excited to learn I have received planning permission for my proposed edition to my own little project @giselle_de_hasse those that know my work, understand my love of both contemporary and historic architecture - I am passionate about both periods in design (sometimes mixin’ it up a lil bit 😉) I’ll be creating a galleried ‘workshop’ kitchen from the rear elevation of my little house, making a contemporary space from which I can once again create the heart of my home. It has been a bit of a journey.... but all good things.... #giselledehasse #dehasseinteriordesign #renovationproject #renovating #neutralhome #naturalstyle #architecturaldesign
I have been putting the finishing touches to the bathroom specs for a project using products from @vola.denmark to compliment my bespoke stone basin designs. Following a site visit last week, I encouraged the client to lift some of the ceilings to gain unexpected height into the roof. This alteration is not without compromise as ducting is hidden within the roof void, however this will add a further dimension to the character of the building. This beautiful space has inspired me. It is C Penthouse designed by Vincent Van Duysen in the city of my ancestors, Antwerp, Belgium. We will use the modular towel rail seen here. #bathroomdesign #vola #minimalstyle #neutralspaces #naturalmaterials #minimalluxe #minimalluxury #pureaesthetics #neutralspace #vincentvanduysen photo via #pinterest
Early morning light in the cottage. The space is tiny, but small is beautiful 🤍

Thinking along the lines of a box... I have used bent corten to form the central balustrade and handrail on a current project. The metal will contrast with lime render on the north wall of the lift shaft, alabastine paint elsewhere on the stairwell, and with stone flooring in the hallway and pale timber on the stairs making for a beautiful mix of natural materials. #dehasseinteriordesign #neutralstyle #naturalmaterials #naturalstyle #architecturaldesign

Setting up for a shoot at the end of a project is so exciting. This one was actually a re shoot of an FF&E project in property designed by architects McLean Quinlan. Recording months, sometimes years of work on a project very often turning a bare soulless space into a lovely home is a rewarding experience. There’s so much in the making at the moment and we’re a while of shooting anything, but I am enjoying the process of forming internal architectural details on several projects, (not least my own small renovation project), working on designs for external screens, stone layouts, stairwells, bespoke joinery, bespoke handrails, bespoke steel and glass doors and beautiful lighting. #dehasseinteriordesign #neutralhome #neutralstyle #bespokedesign #designlux #luxdesign #luxuryhomes #luxlifestyle #stylinghomes #neutralstyle
