Bernard Interiors Group

Designing Value: Where Vision Meets Opportunity

A private connection can open up the right opportunity.

Some of the most valuable work on a property happens before a spade touches the ground. We have seen clients acquire land and realise millions in value by showing what it could become. A compelling design vision gives investors something tangible to believe in.

Across the UK and internationally, Bernard Interiors designs private homes and prime residential developments, from early concept decks to finished interiors. For families, we consider how they want to live. For developers, we consider the buyer, the setting and the commercial opportunity. Designers by discipline. Visionaries by choice.

That ability to connect design with lasting value also shapes our work across care and later living. Through our partnership with Knight Frank and sponsorship of the Global Healthcare Property Lunch, we connect with others shaping the longevity market. Our roundtables and private events offer operators, developers, private family offices and investors a place to share insight and explore collaboration. We would welcome you to join the conversation.

We can make considered introductions across our network, connecting clients with relevant property, investment and delivery expertise. The privilege is access to people we know and trust, a network built over 18 years, brought together around your particular ambition.

Symbiotic Living

Why living with what you love is good for the mind

Think of the one thing in your home you would never part with. Chances are what makes it precious is the story behind it: a painting bought from an artist before the world knew their name, a piece from an era you loved long before others did.

Neuroscience confirms that beautiful surroundings measurably calm us: in one study, stress fell by 59.6% after fifteen minutes in a room designed around nature.

Symbiotic Living, the London and Chicago interior architecture and design practice founded by Sharlene Young, creates evidence-led homes for wellbeing that nurture the mind as well as delight the eye.

Too often, such treasures are hidden away, not lived with. For two collectors, Sharlene shaped a home where every piece in their art collection could tell its story. For another family, hand-painted murals echo a much-loved artwork.

Beauty enriches a home. Lived with every day, it nourishes the mind.

PORTER PRESS INTERNATIONAL

The Fastest Books in the World!

Speed is a consistent theme in most of the books published by Porter Press International.

When Jo Bamford wanted a fitting present for his father, Lord Bamford’s 80th birthday, he commissioned PP to create a beautiful book on the three Ferraris the JCB Chairman had designed. In the States, a well-known auctioneer went up to a classic car collector and said, ‘I’ve found you a Ferrari 250 GTO’. ‘But which one?’ responded the collector. The auctioneer handed over a Porter Press book on the car. It was bought for $80m. More recently, the highest price ever achieved for an American car was bid for a car also in the same Porter Press Great Cars series. Very recently, an iconic British food brand has chosen Porter Press to create a heritage book for the company.

Apart from bespoke commissions for individuals and companies, Porter Press has published over 120 top quality, highly-respected motoring and motorsport books in the last 21 years. Many have won awards. Leading authors, such as Doug Nye, describe Porter Press as their publisher of choice. Many of the books are offered in enhanced hand-bound special editions under the title COLLECTOR by Porter.

The company is working with other Exclusively Connect Partners to organise events, special promotions and in 2023 organised the world’s first Motoring Literary & Art Festival.

LANCIA DESIGNS

Live Simply in Extra Ordinary Ways

What does it feel like to live Simply in Extra Ordinary Ways?

Celebrating business and personal milestones a couple created an opportunity to present guests with memorable moments they would treasure long after leaving the beautiful island of Los Cabos - Mexico. This was a celebration for two weeks at a private resort for ten of their guests, along with each guest's family, as an appreciation for those who stood by them during the storms in their life.

'Lancia, I do not want to host a big party; I want to celebrate those close to us with gratitude for their endearing friendship and loyalty. Would you create a beautiful invitation as a Gift that expresses our appreciation?’

The Gift - A Couture Keepsake Gift Box was created with a formal invitation for each client.

The Invitation - A sun dial imprinted on the invitation captured the couple's milestone years of a timeless romance, friendship and partnership in business.

A Thank You Card - with a quote to each guest read “for the reasons, and through the seasons God has ordained your presence in our lives, we are blessed because of it.”

A Slideshow - of the exquisite resort set to music, created a preview for each guest to immerse in, before embarking on this journey of celebration, creating an anticipation of wonder and joy.

The Music - reminiscent of the era the couple grew up in was captured on a CD. Champagne and custom made chocolates added to the special touch. A Private Chef at the resort created and crafted an extraordinary culinary spread for the guests.

Living Simply in Extra Ordinary Ways elevates our dedication and commitment to serve our discerning and loyal clients who value the joys of living Well!

It is this attention to meaningful details and personal connections that lies at the heart of Lancia Designs, transforming thoughtful gestures into lasting memories and exceptional experiences.

HOUSE OF BENNET

Interiors with a Story to Tell

House of Bennet is an international interior design studio specializing in high-end residential design and boutique commercial projects. We work across borders to create exceptional spaces, with main projects located throughout Switzerland, Sweden, the UK, and Italy.

The way we set ourselves apart is by providing every room with an identity and a soul through art, history and biographical design.

Every design proposal for a client is supported by a research report containing information about the history of the family, the building and the surroundings as well as any relating interior design era and/or cultural influence.

The reasoning behind it is to give the interior substance and meaning.

Through attention to detail, the interior can represent the customer's vision, values, interests and history, and thus become unique, more interesting, convey added value and thereby become sustainable in the long term.

It has to be our growing focus on bespoke items. We are developing more custom pieces than ever before, allowing us to create deeply personalized, one-of-a-kind interiors for our clients.

Amberth

Luxury, Lived In

The real luxury of a home is how naturally it supports your day. A kitchen, where preparing dinner and catching up happen together. A bathroom that brings a little calm to a busy morning. Thoughtful storage that keeps everyday essentials within easy reach.

Good design starts with noticing these small rituals. Where do you gather, unwind or get in each other’s way? The answers shape spaces with more than visual appeal: considered layouts, tactile materials and details chosen for the way you live, rather than a passing trend.

Based in Islington, Amberth specialises in bespoke kitchens and bathrooms for London homes, combining thoughtful design with supply and installation coordination. Expertly designed. Calmly delivered.

Blue Forest

The New Luxury of Escaping into the Trees

There is something wonderfully escapist about a treehouse – but today’s treehouses can be a world away from the makeshift hideaways of childhood.

Blue Forest designs and builds extraordinary bespoke treehouses and timber structures, creating everything from private family retreats and secluded guest accommodation to luxurious woodland escapes, wellness spaces and safari lodges.

Every project begins with its setting. Rather than imposing a building upon the landscape, the aim is to create something that feels as though it belongs there – weaving architecture through existing trees and responding to the views, contours and character of the surroundings.

Perhaps that is part of their enduring appeal. In an increasingly connected world, there is a particular luxury in climbing into the trees, closing the door and escaping somewhere completely unexpected.

Stacks

Finding the right place for the next chapter

“I have always been fascinated by the way people choose where to live. A home is never just a property; it is connected to lifestyle, family, work, identity and the next chapter of someone’s life.

Buying a home is rarely just about bricks and mortar. It is about timing, confidence, lifestyle and knowing when a property genuinely feels right.

Stacks has been representing buyers for over 40 years, helping clients search, assess, negotiate and secure the right home with calm, independent advice. With regional directors across the country, Stacks combines national expertise with deep local knowledge.

As Regional Director for Stacks Islington & East London, I support buyers who are often time-poor, relocating, or looking for expert guidance in a competitive London market. My role is to search, preview, assess and negotiate on behalf of clients, while coordinating the process with agents, mortgage brokers, solicitors and surveyors.

After years working in television, helping people imagine a new life in a new place, I now do something surprisingly similar through property: helping clients see clearly, make confident decisions and find a home that truly fits their life.”

Fields Living

A Life Well Considered

When the Right Relationship Makes All the Difference.

The home I wanted existed only in my mind. I'd searched for months but nothing came close.

Then Fields Living sourced an off-market property I would never have seen otherwise and I loved it. But after examining the figures, they advised me to walk away. That was when I realised their priority wasn't simply making a sale.

Weeks later, they found another privately sourced home. This time, everything stacked up. With my life split between countries, they introduced a trusted finance specialist and arranged calls around my schedule.

After collecting the keys, I knew I had people I could rely on. So when I needed a private jet at short notice, I thought of them. It wasn't their usual brief, but they knew who to call.

“You guys really do go over and above. It's not just waffle.”

Fields Living is a property and lifestyle advisory built around relationships that last well beyond a transaction.

Organised Interiors

The Art of Arriving Home

Every so often, a client tells us their dream is to arrive at a new home without ever seeing a box. So we built a service around it.

Organised Interiors offers concierge-level home move management. With our Signature Move, we plan every room, source the storage and oversee the removals team before moving day. While our clients enjoy a mini-break, we unpack everything and organise each space in depth: wardrobes curated by category, kitchens arranged around how you truly live, everything labelled and beautifully in its place. Beds are made, and the fridge is stocked.

Then comes our favourite moment: the return. A guided tour of a home that feels calm, considered and ready to enjoy from day one.

Winner of Professional Organiser Service of the Year (Global Awards 21/22 and 22/23) and featured in Homes & Gardens, The Sunday Times and Good Housekeeping.

Davenport Associates

A Thoughtful Approach to Transforming Exceptional Properties

Private clients renovating or refurbishing their London residences or country houses can benefit from working with an experienced project manager. Davenport Associates is a small, Mayfair-based firm of senior project managers and cost consultants with a long track record of working on heritage buildings as well as new builds. They work closely with clients to oversee every stage of a project.

The team recently completed an exceptional, high-value, fast-track project in the country. The client requested completion within three years, despite a project of this size and scale ordinarily taking six. Davenport Associates brought together an outstanding professional team, including architects, interior designers, heritage specialists, and planning and environmental consultants.

The client was strongly motivated to regenerate the estate with great sensitivity to its historic fabric while introducing a fresh look and feel.

Despite the considerable time pressure, the Davenport team describes it as one of the projects they have most enjoyed managing. The relationship has continued, with the client now inviting them back to oversee a new phase of work.

Gregory Phillips Architects

When the Better Possibility Becomes Home

Gregory Phillips Architects design remarkable new houses and transform existing homes. Major extensions and refurbishments, with architecture, interiors and landscape considered together.

When our clients first approached us, they wanted to extend and remodel their existing home in Radlett. After exploring its potential, we gave them unexpected advice: rather than compromise, find another property that could become the home they really wanted.

Six months later they returned, having bought a nearby property with planning permission for a replacement house. Working with that opportunity, we created an entirely new circa 7,500 square foot family home, drawing on Georgian proportions for the front facade and Arts and Crafts craftsmanship while creating something distinctly contemporary.

The completed house is centred around a dramatic three-storey entrance hall and includes generous living spaces, landscaped gardens, an 18-metre swimming pool and pavilion. For us, its story is about more than architecture: sometimes the most important part of design is recognising a better possibility.

MAKE

When “Impossible” Becomes Possible — The Shoreacre Story

When the brief for a £3 million luxury pool and yoga studio landed on our desk, it came with a warning: several contractors had already walked away, convinced it couldn't be built.

Designed by Powell Tuck Associates, the building sits at the end of a single-track lane on the Devon coast, against a backdrop so striking we simply couldn't say no.

Our directors put in the hours, going back to first principles on buildability. By rotating the building just a few extra degrees and keeping excavated soil on site instead of carting it away down that narrow lane, they found cost savings that turned an "impossible" scheme into one MAKE could deliver.

The result… a project we're immensely proud of. Just as rewarding was working with clients who were an absolute pleasure to build for and forms a few of the many reasons we choose to work on projects that others simply may not embrace the challenge on.

The Art of Preparation: Building Without Regrets

I recently ran 100 miles around the mountains of the Alps, in one go.

41 hours non-stop (with 10 minutes sleep). I also did 5 days (6 marathons) in the desert in Jordan at 40 degrees heat.

A lot of people ask “why?”

The short answer is: challenge – pride – perspective.

I learnt more about myself, and about being a running a business during this period that any other period of my life.

Dan Grimshaw trained as a designer, and with a degree in Three-Dimensional Design, he began his career designing and making furniture, where preparation, material and fit are everything.

He went on to spend 20 years leading the creation of exceptional London homes, several featured in House & Garden, Homes & Gardens and The Telegraph Magazine, and serves on the juries of two international design awards.

Along the way he saw too many projects falter because of what happened at the very start.

Through Beam Consult, Dan now works as a Project Creator. From the first conversation he sits beside the owner as an independent guide, translating their ambitions for the architects, designers and specialists he brings together to suit the property, the brief and the people. Every decision is in place before building begins.

Building without regrets.

MESONI

Some careers begin in an office. Mine began on construction sites in Sardinia.

Growing up around my family’s construction business gave me an early understanding of how buildings actually come together, not just through design, but through people, decisions, budgets and the thousands of details that determine whether a project succeeds.

After moving to London and working on high-end residential projects, I realised private clients often needed someone genuinely on their side of the table.

That became the idea behind Mesoni.

Today, we represent private clients throughout the design, management, and construction process, bringing together project management, cost management, design, and delivery under one independent point of coordination.

Our role is often behind the scenes: protecting the client’s interests, solving problems before they become expensive ones, and helping turn an ambitious idea into a beautifully delivered home.

Two Legacies. One Standard.

True luxury is the absence of compromise. It is the rare point where brutal power is refined by absolute elegance. For over a century, Aston Martin has defined this balance on the road. We have translated that same obsession into the digital realm, merging automotive artistry with the most advanced computing architecture on earth.

This is not a collaboration of logos, but of philosophies. We have applied the same principles used in the wind tunnels of Gaydon to the thermal lanes of a workstation. The result is a machine that does not just perform — it possesses a presence.

From the hand-stitched leather to the precision of the DualLoop cooling, every detail is a deliberate choice. This is computing for those who understand that the way a machine is built is just as important as what it can achieve.

LINK IT SOLUTIONS LTD

Technology Should Disappear

The most successful technology projects are often the ones nobody notices.

At Link It Solutions, we design and install integrated technology for luxury homes, bringing together lighting, entertainment, security, climate control and networking into one seamless experience. Rather than filling homes with gadgets, our aim is to create environments that are intuitive, reliable and tailored to the way each client lives.

One of the most rewarding aspects of our work is seeing a property evolve from a building project into a home. Whether it's a cinema room that brings family and friends together, lighting that subtly enhances a space throughout the day, or technology that allows homeowners to stay connected to their property from anywhere in the world, the greatest luxury is simplicity. When technology is designed properly, it quietly fades into the background and lets life take centre stage.

Exclusive Privilege

Members introduced through this network will be offered a complimentary Smart Home Discovery Consultation for a current or future property project, providing independent guidance on home technology, lighting, entertainment, security and automation before important design and construction decisions are made.
