We provided a comprehensive interior design service for our developer client on nine apartments in this high-end refurbishment project in collaboration with Reading + West Architects. The original property was a Victorian handbag factory that had been fully stripped out, leaving few original internal features.
"We recently completed a multi-unit residential project with Bridget, and she has also given design input on several office refurbishments. The residential project required a comprehensive, turn-key solution, encompassing everything from the base fit-out and furniture to art selection and staging.
Bridget handled it all with a high level of professionalism and an impressive ability to manage complexity, including effectively coordinating with contractors on-site.
Her calm approach instils confidence, yet she keeps the projects moving forward efficiently, ensuring deadlines are met without compromising quality. Given her skill set and dedication, we would gladly work with her again on future projects."
"I've had the pleasure of working with Bridget on multiple projects, including an overseas project and a challenging renovation of a listed building that required careful liaison with planning officers.
Her refined taste and excellent eye for design are evident in her ability to select materials, textures and colours, as well as being reflected in bespoke joinery items she has designed, which have helped elevate each project.
Bridget is not only creative and resourceful in her approach but also knowledgeable and easy to work with – a good listener and client-focused."
"We are now on our fourth project with Bridget and each experience has been nothing short of amazing. On two of those projects Bridget has had to deal with a listed building and each time has managed to design something sympathetic to the character but with the edge we want. Crucially she has kept the regulators happy at all times while remaining calm and focused, not easy!!
Bridget captures our personal taste perfectly and we feel so comfortable with all she recommends along with her exemplary attention to detail. Thank you for creating the most beautiful homes for us."
"Bridget is a very talented and creative designer, I loved working with her and found her to be extremely reliable, honest and capable. She worked hard to manage the builders that carried out the works and I would definitely work with her again. She transformed a dull little house into a little gem. She loves a cuppa and although she says she doesn't eat biscuits she does really especially chocolate ones!"
"We recently worked with Bridget Reading on a complete house refurbishment. There was extensive structural work involved. Her suggestions and drawings were intuitive and well thought out. We had worked with her 9 years ago on another renovation project and loved her style and taste. She listens to what you want and finds what you are looking for. She is professional and fun to work with – from design ideas, to bespoke joinery, fabrics, paint colours, lighting, etc. – She has a fantastic eye and is up-to-date with current trends, yet always listens to what you are looking to achieve in your new home. Finally, we were very happy with the building team she recommended."
"I have worked with Bridget Reading ID on three large and challenging projects with each needing planning permission from Westminster City Council. Bridget handled all planning matters with professional ease and obtained all consents and certificates from the beginning through to completion.
Bridget is so easy to work with as she understands exactly what her clients are looking for, coupled with her innovative ideas, enthusiasm and product knowledge, I need look no further than Bridget Reading ID when doing any alterations or refurbishments to our homes. I have no hesitation in recommending Bridget Reading ID to others"
Today, we had the incredible opportunity to revisit one of our favourite past projects in Fitzrovia. It’s always a thrill to return to a space we’ve designed and see how it has matured and adapted over time. After a few years, we were eager to reconnect with our client, Daniel Barber, and witness how he has made the house his own....
