A harmonious relationship between architect and interior designer is the secret to every successful project

- Janine Stone

A shared vision

THE beautiful houses created by William Kent, Robert Adam, Sir Edwin Lutyens and Frank Lloyd Wright owe their coherence to the fact that the same hand was responsible for every last detail, inside and out. Increasingly, architects and interior designers are recognising the importance of working collaboratively to ensure a similar coherence in their work.

The team at Janine Stone has a long experience working on a wide range of projects, from refurbishment to new builds. At the heart of these is a collaborative spirit that ensures they are seamlessly delivered. Jeremy Spencer of Janine Stone shares with Giles Kime, COUNTRY LIFE'S Executive Editor, the secret to achieving creative harmony when building or transforming a house.
