West Farm
West Farm is a coastal accommodation and hospitality project in Southern Down, South Wales, developed for clients Chris and Alex Williams. The brief was to create a cohesive interior scheme across guest accommodation, café and bar spaces, balancing relaxed coastal character with durability, comfort and day-to-day functionality. The result is a flexible, welcoming environment designed to support a range of guest experiences throughout the day and evening.
Testimonial
We had the pleasure of collaborating with Rhian on our project to transform an old farm into a coffee shop, bar, and coastal holiday retreat. As fellow industry professionals, we were highly impressed by Rhian’s ability to complement and enhance our vision with her creative insights and expertise. Rhian worked closely with us to develop interior schemes for each space, bringing a fresh perspective and innovative ideas that perfectly matched our desired aesthetic and goals for the business. She specified the ideal furniture, ensuring each piece contributed to the cohesive and inviting atmosphere we aimed to create. Throughout the entire project, Rhian was an exceptional partner—easy-going, responsive, and always available to address any questions or challenges that arose. Her skill in interpreting our brief and transforming it into beautifully designed spaces was invaluable. We highly recommend Rhian for her professionalism, creativity, and dedication. Working with her was an outstanding experience, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results.
