VIVUS INTERIORS
Maple Project
Brief
Developed in collaboration with the homeowners and Modh Design Architecture, Maple House involved the complete transformation of a substantial family home in Ryde, Isle of Wight. Although originally built in 2000, the property was designed with a traditional architectural language, providing the perfect foundation for a warm, contemporary country interior. Alongside a significant double extension, we created a complete interior scheme spanning six bedrooms, four ensuite bathrooms, a family bathroom, two additional WCs, a gym, study, open-plan kitchen, dining space, snug, utility room and entrance hall, carefully considering how each space would support modern family life while feeling connected as part of a cohesive whole.
Our Approach
Working from the earliest concept stages through to completion, we developed a fully integrated interior design package that extended far beyond finishes and furnishings. Alongside detailed room layouts, lighting design, colour palettes and material selections, we produced an extensive bespoke joinery package, combining concept sketches with technical drawings to bring unique furniture and architectural details to life throughout the home. During implementation, we remained closely involved, collaborating with the architect and contractor while sourcing and specifying every element of the interior, from the DeVOL kitchen and decorative lighting to furniture, fabrics and accessories, ensuring the finished home felt considered in every detail.
