SUCCESS STORIES
The Lakes By Yoo House
This beautiful property, located just outside The Cotswolds, HAUHAU created a signature Vantage Wall featuring charcoal oak fins with black leather inlay, framed by a light bronze arch. A Leica Cine1 laser projector and Bang & Olufsen sound system integrate seamlessly into our handcrafted framework for rich entertainment experiences
The Gilbert Scott Residence
The Gilbert Scott’s bespoke private cinema was the perfect place to unwind with loved ones whilst watching the big screen from the comfort of your own home, all with handcrafted designs that truly speak to you. HAUHAU combines first-class technology with your desired aesthetics to create the ultimate space for retreat and relaxation.
“We recently decided to remodel our kitchen, and after looking at various luxury brands, it was clear that a Hau Hau kitchen was for us.
We instantly fell in love with the elegant yet modern design and sympathetic use of beautiful materials. It was important for us that our most used room wasn’t “style over substance”. Ben listened to how we use our space and took on board our extensive wish list and came up with the most beautiful designs, incorporating ideas that we would never have thought of ourselves. He was so accommodating with my constant questions and “what abouts?” and would always explain why something would or would not work or come up with a way to improve upon an idea.
We loved that we were included in the design process to create our perfect family space; it has made the room so much more personal and bespoke to us.
Hau Hau excelled themselves, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them, not only for their designs and quality of craftsmanship but also for their ability to communicate, share their knowledge and understand the customers’ needs.
We certainly didn’t get “style over substance”. What we did get was the most stylish and substantial kitchen we could have imagined!”
— Mr & Mrs Arundel
THE SIGNATURE VANTAGE WALL
Central to many of our home cinema designs stands our signature Vantage Wall—a masterfully crafted design that serves as the focal point of your entertainment space. Each Vantage Wall represents a completely bespoke creation, tailored to your specific requirements and desired aesthetic.
EXPERT CRAFTSMANSHIP AND MATERIALS
Drawing from our expertise in fine cabinet making, we construct the components by only using carefully selected, high-quality materials. Whether incorporating rich walnut fins with leather inlay details or featuring sleek oak elements framed by bronze architectural accents, each Vantage Wall becomes a signature piece that defines your home cinema's personality.
SEAMLESS TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
The design expertly incorporates your chosen projection system, whether utilising advanced laser projectors or traditional display technologies, whilst concealing all technical infrastructure within our handcrafted framework. Sound system components integrate invisibly, allowing superior audio performance whilst maintaining the wall's clean, sophisticated appearance.
ATMOSPHERIC LIGHTING
Each Vantage Wall incorporates thoughtful lighting systems that enhance both viewing experiences and ambient atmosphere. From concealed accent lighting that highlights design details to carefully positioned mood lighting that creates perfect conditions for entertainment, every element serves your comfort whilst contributing to the overall cinematic experience.

THE HAUHAU DESIGN PROCESS
-
Our expert design team will take your initial concepts and elevate them beyond your wildest dreams, guiding you through every step of the process as we make it a reality.
Our philosophy is to work in close partnership with our clients, providing creative and innovative solutions through genuine collaboration and careful consideration of your needs and desires.
Once we receive your inquiry, we will contact you to introduce ourselves and discuss the outline of your project. Along with your ideas and brief, we will require a plan to work from. This can be in the form of your architect’s drawings or, if there is a physical space, ideally a visit to your residence to carry out a survey.
Following this process we can begin to prepare your design.
-
After our first consultation, our expert design team will work on your concept, developing, enhancing, and elevating it beyond your expectations into a truly remarkable design.
From our initial sketches, we will prepare full working CAD drawings along with visuals, palettes, and material choices—from your primary finish through to your internal colorway—for your review.
-
Once you have commissioned HAUHAU for your project, we will finalize any changes you may wish to make to your design, appliance list, material choices, and then proceed to contract your order.
At this stage we will engage with your contractors, and any other parties involved with your project to provide the relevant information they require (along with mechanical and electrical working drawings) and will remain in constant communication with them to monitor your schedule, ensuring everything stays on track.
-
Your order will now enter production in our workshop.
We pride ourselves on the meticulous quality of craftsmanship achieved by our expert cabinet makers.
The HAUHAU workshop is not a production line.
Every project is assigned to one maker at a time, who crafts and hand-makes every aspect of your order to exacting standards by combining cutting-edge technology with the most exquisite of materials.
It is in this way that we have truly set ourselves apart and surpassed the industry with our standard.
-
Now it is time for your design to become a reality!
After diligently managing your project's schedule to ensure a smooth and on-time fulfillment, HAUHAU will deliver and install your furniture to the very highest standard while ensuring the utmost consideration for your residence.
-
On completion of your new kitchen, we arrange for renowned chef Elliot Johnson-Paul of JP Dining to come in and prepare a complimentary private dining experience in your new space to ensure you truly experience every aspect in its full glory.
Simply sit back, relax, and enjoy your new HAUHAU kitchen.
