Luxury Interior Design & Bespoke Refurbishments in Penarth
Born in Penarth. Built for the exceptional.
Project One in Penarth
Penarth isn’t just where we work. It’s where we’re from.
We helped write The Sunday Times, Best place to live in the UK in 2017 due to our intimate knowledge of this haven outside our capital.
The Victorians called Penarth the Village by the Sea and we’ve watched this village transform the Penarth we know and love today across 20 years.
Our refurbishments have raised the ceiling price of houses making a Project One refurb beautiful to live with and great financial sense.
Project One is headquartered in Penarth, which means we know its streets, its architecture and the quiet ambition of the people who choose to live here. We understand the elegance of its Victorian and Edwardian terraces, the potential locked inside its clifftop homes, and the particular pride Penarth homeowners take in where they live.
It also means that when you invite us in, you’re not dealing with a contractor parachuting in from elsewhere. You’re working with a team that’s invested in this community — a team whose work you may already have seen, and whose reputation is built property by property, street by street, right here.
If you want bespoke design and build that reflects the calibre of your home and your lifestyle, you’ve found the right people.
What Penarth Homes Deserve
Penarth is one of the most sought-after addresses in South Wales. Its blend of period architecture, marina views, green spaces and proximity to Cardiff has long attracted professionals, families and those who simply refuse to compromise on where they live. You belong here. The question is whether your home does justice to that.
Many of Penarth’s most beautiful properties — the double-fronted Victorian Mansions on Marine Parade reminding us of shipping history of our beautiful town to the sprawling semis near Cosmeston, the period flats with sea glimpses along the esplanade — are crying out to be transformed. Full of potential, full of character, but not yet what they could be.
Who’d have known when the world’s first million pound check was written in Penarth on March 4, 1970 by “The Penarth Burroughs” to commemorate the establishment of the first million pound share issue in the UK that many of houses in Penarth would go on to push through this amount in value.
Investing in a house renovation in Penarth for enjoyment of the space can also be a rewarding or natural financial experience.
That’s exactly the kind of challenge we relish.
At Project One, we take Penarth properties and reimagine them entirely, from the six walls of every room outward. We don’t work from catalogues or standard unit configurations. We design and build everything bespoke, with craftsmanship and materials that match the ambition of the brief.

Our Services in Penarth
Bespoke Kitchens in Penarth
The kitchen is the heart of any home, and in Penarth’s larger family properties it often has the space to become truly extraordinary. We design bespoke kitchens that combine visual drama with the kind of considered functionality that makes daily life feel effortless. From Gaggenau and Wolf appliances to hand-crafted cabinetry built to exact specification, your kitchen will be a space you want to live in, not just cook in.
Luxury Bathrooms in Penarth
We’ve transformed bathrooms in homes across Penarth into private retreats that rival the finest hotel suites. Our philosophy is simple: this is the room where your day begins and ends, and it should hold its own. We work with exclusive suppliers including Armani:ROCA and bring a level of finish that you won’t find in any showroom. Think underfloor warmth, bespoke joinery, statement stone and lighting designed to shift with your mood.
Bespoke Bedrooms in Penarth
A bedroom should be a sanctuary, and in Penarth’s often characterful, original-featured homes, there is real opportunity to create something remarkable. We design and build bespoke bedroom furniture and fitted storage that works with the room’s architecture rather than against it — maximising space, enhancing proportion and creating a space that truly feels like yours.
Home Refurbishments in Penarth
For homeowners looking to transform a tired or underperforming property into something award-worthy, our full and partial refurbishment service is where the real magic happens. We manage everything from structural engineering and planning permission through to the last piece of bespoke joinery. Nothing is off-the-shelf. Nothing is left to chance.
Extensions & New Builds in Penarth
Penarth’s properties often have the land to grow. Whether you’re looking to extend to the rear, up into a loft, or add a striking side return, we bring the same meticulous, design-led approach to every extension project. The result is space that feels as though it was always meant to be there — seamlessly integrated, beautifully resolved.
The Project One Difference
We are not the cheapest option, and we don’t pretend to be. We are the best option for homeowners in Penarth who want work done once, done right, and done to a standard they’ll still be proud of in twenty years.
Our credentials speak for themselves. We are accredited by both the FMB and the SBID, and we have consistently won prestigious industry awards for our design and build work. Our team includes one of the most experienced structural engineers in the region, retained in-house, which means complex projects don’t become complicated conversations — they just get solved.
We are local but our design expertise has placed us top 10 in the world in the SBID awards and Global Architecture Awards since 2014.
Our mantra – Smile to sleep. Wake to wonder – isn’t marketing copy. It’s the standard we hold every project to.
Working With Us
We begin every project by understanding your lifestyle in depth. How you actually live. What’s missing. What’s possible. From there, we collaborate closely on design, drawing on mood boards, material schedules and our extensive supplier relationships — including exclusive access to some of the finest interior brands in the world.
Once signed off, we work efficiently and transparently, keeping you as involved as you’d like to be, and delivering to agreed timescales.
For Penarth homeowners, our proximity is a genuine advantage. Site visits, supplier meetings, conversations and coffee over plans — we’re local, available and fully committed to the outcome.
Ready to make your Penarth home exceptional?
We’d love to hear about your project. Whether you have a clear vision or just a feeling that your home could be so much more, let’s talk. The initial conversation is free, informal and – we’d like to think – rather enjoyable.
