Hamptons interview with Maida Vale 's design heroes 'Hodgkinson Design.'

Tell us a little about the back story of ’Hodgkinson Design?’ Andrew Hodgkinson has had a very diverse career working with some of the leading UK and international retail brands and developers. Concentrating now on bespoke private homes using his knowledge, experience and love of the art world to create beautiful and functional solutions for our aspirational clients.

Do you find most clients have clear image of what they want to achieve in their property or do they look to you for inspiration?

We work with a variety of clients, some who know exactly what they want to achieve, and therefore we help facilitate this for the best outcome. But we have other clients who aren’t sure what they are wanting to achieve but may have some inspirations or an atmosphere they want to curate or have existing furniture and artwork they wish to include. It is our job as highly skilled and trained architects and interior designers to work with and help both set of clients turn their aspirations and dreams into reality.

Tell us about a project you’re particularly proud of?

Our most recent project in Notting Hill resulted in the creation of a calm atmosphere as a desired refuge from the client’s busy life. This is a project both the client and the team at Hodgkinson Design are particularly proud of. We managed to curate a space that facilitates a warm, relaxed and creative atmosphere, working with some of the client’s existing furniture and showcasing both old and new artwork and sculptures. This project blends texture and colour within a sensitive yet minimalistic design.

What are the most popular types of projects you are asked to undertake at the moment?

We undertake a variety of projects, the most popular type of projects we carry out at the moment are bespoke residential refurbishments or substantial redevelopments for both houses and flats. We offer tailored solutions for our clients’ requirements and ambitions.
