This once-ordinary property has been reimagined into a calm, cosy, and tactile space that feels like a cabin in the woods. Drawing on Scandinavian minimalism and British craftsmanship, Reena used polished concrete floors, cross-sawn oak and inky blue-black cabinetry to bring warmth, texture and light to every corner. From the dining room\u2019s garden views to the hotel-style bedroom, every detail reflects the influence of the surrounding landscape.
