Tim Ditchfield Architects: Inspired by a journey to Palm Springs and the spirit of mid-century modernism, this project was a pilgrimage in design.

Exposed concrete ceilings and carefully sourced granite, quartzite and travertine provide robust yet rich surfaces, which are accentuated by flourishes of colour and a curation of playfully sophisticated furniture pieces and d contemporary abstract art
