The Caspian Sea fresco wax finish continues across the walls, door and insulated garage door, creating an immersive backdrop, while a soft Bone French wash brings light and movement to the ceiling.

A vintage haberdashery ladder, workbench and drinks trolley bring patina and individuality, while the Frame television, integrated audio visual system and beer fridge allow the room to move easily between workshop, retreat and a place to spend time with friends. It still functions as a garage, but it is now one of the most personal and frequently used rooms in the home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61953e52ce11b8636de18d88/273890da-4865-4e4d-bec6-a574f75a0c7b/DSC01291.jpg Design Projects - A Retreat for Him The backdrop of this Caspian Sea fresco wall serves as a stunning showcase for custom pieces like this vintage haberdashery ladder, adorned with the client’s unique mementos, creating a bespoke, immersive vibe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61953e52ce11b8636de18d88/cf0d9b6e-ca97-4761-8420-da51b854f58e/DSC01297.jpg Design Projects - A Retreat for Him Small thoughtful details, such as this vintage iron drinks trolley featuring Waterford crystal, cleverly elevate the space, creating the perfect man cave. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61953e52ce11b8636de18d88/1d7a09c6-f767-411f-a214-9fd9dfa13954/DSC01321.jpg Design Projects - A Retreat for Him The rustic workbench provides an ideal setting for complete immersion in crafts and hobbies, whilst the custom shutters provide both privacy and black out when required. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61953e52ce11b8636de18d88/a0a3a2cd-ac2d-48c2-845c-dfad4bb39155/Mancave+updated.jpg Design Projects - A Retreat for Him This space combines work and play, featuring a lounge area with a large frame TV for PlayStation entertainment and a practical workbench for his various hobbies.
