Rigby & Rigby's Project OX7 149, Country Mansion in the Cotswolds
Rigby & Rigby recently completed the construction, architecture and interior design of a country house and Estate in the Cotswolds.The aim was to create a contemporary family home within a beautiful traditional Cotswold property. It was important to keep the colour palette light and neutral, with accents of duck egg blue and innovative use of artificial lighting. Bespoke wallpaper and wall panelling by the likes of Fromental, Philip Jeffries and Seamless created striking feature walls throughout the property.Striking, but welcoming, with a calm underlying palette that creates a comfortable backdrop and enables the more dramatic elements to come forward without being too overpowering.Traditional Cotswold architecture, with its think stone walls, doesn’t usually lend itself to light interiors, but here we have achieved this by keeping the palette light and having a clever use of artificial lighting.Inspiration for this project was strongly led by the client, as they had some very clear and specific ideas about what they were looking to achieve. Rigby & Rigby guided the client to ensure we could turn the their ideas and concepts into a working reality, as well as ensure that all the disparate ideas came together in a harmonious fashion.
