Interior & Exterior Design

MATERIALITY LIGHT AND SPACE

Selected natural finishes, the feeling of health, security and wellbeing is what ecoips spaces are all about. We create our interiors with care and attention to detail with architecturally designed features to give your home or studio a contemporary appearance. Internal finishes, built in shelving, and workstations can be finished, combined and contrasted to create a feeling natural harmony and wellbeing. As if hewn from the same piece of wood, cocooned and protected with a beautifully framed view of garden, woodland or distant horizon with easy accessible transitions to outdoor rooms and spaces.
