Real Homes, Real Transformations

Top-Floor Master Suite

Lisa Hensby Design Studio transformed the entire top floor of a long-standing client's home into a private master suite, a calm retreat for a busy family that regularly hosts long-term international guests. Removing all internal walls opened the floor for a sculptural glass-cube shower, the suite's striking focal point, while large-format Porcelanosa porcelain wraps the bathroom, paired with a bespoke basin, backlit mirror and copper rainfall shower. The bedroom, painted in Farrow & Ball Pitch Black, features a freestanding copper bath, a bespoke U-shaped headboard and a concealed dressing table, and an adjoining walk-in wardrobe with bespoke joinery completes the space.

And because she stays with every project from first sketch to final styling, working with trusted trades who know how she works, the finished home stays true to the design.
