A Figura project is all about getting the detail right. In old houses with quirky walls and uneven floors you need people who understand their craft, their materials and can work closely with the design team to ensure every detail is perfectly executed once they’re on site in a client’s home. To ensure we deliver that every time we only work with skilled craftsmen and women whose standards are as high as our own. It’s precisely this high standard of craftsmanship and stunning natural materials that are at the heart of all our designs and are part of what makes our work elegant, timeless, sustainable and individual.

Timeless design is so important – after all no-one wants their renovation project to date in the short or medium term. Getting it right takes experience and knowledge of period house styling, whether that’s going back a few hundred years or working in the here and now. Here’s how Giles, our lead designer, goes about ensuring Figura delivers timeless design for every client.

We live and work in a part of the country where there are some wonderful period homes – some dating back as far as Tudor times but there are also plenty of beautiful Georgian, Victorian and Arts & Crafts style properties as well as stunning modern houses. Figura has gained a wealth of experience from all the different styles of properties and an understanding of the challenges, and joys, of incorporating all the essentials of modern life into buildings that were originally built for a much simpler time.
