“When we were appointed on this £50 million turn-key project, we needed a design-team who could deliver work of the highest quality in extremely challenging timescales – in DAKOTA we got just that.”

Dakota are proud to present The Retreat - nestled in the heart of Northumberland, a haven for relaxation and bespoke wellbeing. DAKOTA worked closely with the client’s architect, firstly transforming their residential home and then re-developing the outbuildings/stables to form The Retreat; a Scandi inspired Spa and Lodge.

“DAKOTA brought knowledge, passion, understanding and promise to my residential project. A pleasure to work with.” Mr. G Stuart. Focusing on the principal rooms; this understated luxury apartment sympathetically mixed textured fabrics with patterned metal finishes and rich timbers to create a sophisticated modern aesthetic with a slightly masculine edge.

Charged with creating a timeless, sophisticated interior aesthetic; the complete redesign of this central London residence achieved a luxurious elegance by balancing a rich neutral palette of warm timbers and ‘sculptured’ materials with naturally lit spaces and sumptuous fabrics.
