MONTPELLIER STREET RESIDENCE
BESPOKE CRAFTSMANSHIP AND UNPARALLELED QUALITY
This Montpellier Street project was one that demonstrates HAUHAU's ability to create sophisticated, bespoke interiors across an entire home and do so in such a way that effortlessly blends attention to detail, luxury, and daily living. Each room is designed to impress, from whitewashed oak to rich Shagreen details, united by carefully selected antique brass hardware throughout.
KITCHEN DESIGN & MATERIAL SELECTION
This warm and inviting bespoke kitchen design combines whitewashed oak and light fumed oak cabinetry, creating tonal variation that adds depth and personality. This dual-oak approach allows different areas to have distinct character while maintaining design continuity. Reeded glass cabinets provide textured display space, their vertical lines creating contrast across the kitchen's upper sections. Armac Martin's brushed antique brass hardware adds warmth to the pale oak tones, with each piece carefully selected for both beauty and daily functionality.
FIRST-CLASS KITCHEN APPLIANCES
SubZero Wolf appliances seamlessly integrate into the oak cabinetry, designed to match the daily life of the individual client. Bora and Quooker complete the specification, ensuring every cooking requirement is met without compromising the elegant design. The result is a kitchen that rates as high on functionality as it does on form.
MASTER BEDROOM SUITE
The bespoke bedroom design showcases whitewashed oak wardrobes with smoked glass doors—an elegant combination that provides storage while maintaining the room's muted tones and calming ambiance.
The headboard combines Shagreen and antique brass, creating a striking focal point that demonstrates HAUHAU's attention to detail and skill at identifying unexpected but complementary material pairings. Fitted fumed oak bedside tables echo the study's warmth while adopting a soft tone unique to the bedroom.
Marble wall panelling with bronze mirror inlays creates dramatic backdrop lighting, creating a space that makes it easy to unwind and enjoy quiet luxury in the room's natural light.
Inside the wardrobes, Shagreen and walnut lining turn everyday storage into an extraordinary piece of luxury design. Glass shelving with vertical lighting and brass shelf supports creates a boutique-like environment for treasured pieces. Every opening reveals an exceptional level of craftsmanship talent, also present across the entire home’s design.
SECOND BEDROOM
This bedroom featured a bespoke rich American black walnut wardrobe, lined with Shagreen and black walnut. Glass shelving and discreet vertical lighting add softness to the design, complemented by elegant brushed brass shelf supports, which add a final touch of refined detail. This design transforms a simple wardrobe into a unique storage space that’s both understated and beautiful.
STUDY DESIGN & HARDWARE
The bespoke study for the Montpellier Street home exemplifies minimalism and how design simplicity still has its place. The study features Armac Martin hardware and light-fumed oak throughout, creating a warm environment for focused work whilst adding refined detail to every drawer and handcrafted cabinet. The oak's natural grain perfectly complements the minimalist aesthetic and brings the room together effortlessly.
LIVING ROOM
This bespoke HAUHAU living room was created with the client’s daily life in mind, built for all the quiet moments and cherished gatherings that make a house truly a home. A beautiful living space becomes the place where life begins to unfold—from peaceful Saturday mornings with freshly ground coffee to evenings with friends where conversations stretch past midnight. Handcrafted cabinetry built to hold everything from your travel and recipe books to the treasures that tell your life story, every carefully considered detail creates that long-sought-after moment of feeling completely and truly at home.
MASTER BATHROOM DESIGN
The bespoke master bathroom features whitewashed oak cabinetry with antique brass inlays. This material combination creates a spa-like atmosphere where natural wood warmth complements metallic accents. The whitewashed finish maintains brightness while adding texture and character, creating the perfect place to take a moment of quiet and indulge in the peace.
HOME BAR
There's nothing quite like the feeling of pouring your first drink from your own handcrafted HAUHAU home bar, designed specifically for you and your home. Clients often tell us how their bars have become the heart of their homes - whether hosting intimate wine tastings, mixing cocktails for dinner parties, or enjoying a quiet nightcap after a long day. The convenience of having everything perfectly organised and all within reach truly elevates every quiet evening moment at your bar into something memorable.
MEDIA ROOM
Sinking into your bespoke media room for the first time feels like having your own private cinema, perfectly tailored to how you and those closest to you enjoy relaxing together. Enjoy those peaceful Sunday afternoons catching up on your favourite shows or listening to your chosen music that sets the mood for a deserved glass of wine in the evening, all done in the comfort of your own home. HAUHAU only ever uses state-of-the-art technology and sound systems, whilst also ensuring they align with the desired aesthetics of the end product. Your media room quickly becomes your favourite place to retreat - it’s a space where phones are forgotten and quality time just naturally happens.
THE HAUHAU DIFFERENCE
Throughout this home, every detail was designed with purpose and pride. Good design is more than just how something looks – it’s about how it makes you feel. Whilst working across several rooms in the house, we focused on creating continuity from room to room – oak tones shifting subtly, Shagreen and dark walnut linings maintaining the luxurious standards, and antique brass details carrying over the warm undertones. The result was a home that demonstrates HAUHAU’S dedication to excellence, skilled craftsmanship, and unmatched quality designs.
PRIVATE CHEF EXPERIENCE
We know that our clients deserve the very best from their new kitchen. This is why, after every kitchen installation, we arrange for renowned chef Elliot Johnson-Paul of JP Dining to come in and prepare a complimentary private dining experience for up to 10 guests in your new space, to ensure you truly experience every aspect in its full glory.
