mews conversion featured in the independent

One of our most recently completed projects has been featured in a double page spread in The Independent newspaper in August. For the conversion of a Totnes mews house Tandem designed and made most of the interior and built-in furniture - a challenge due to the small floor area of this one bedroom apartment.

Read all about it in the online article: 'We built our dream holiday cottage for less than £100,000'.

And to take a closer look at the project on our website, click here.

back from london

Grand Designs Live 2011 closed on Sunday - yes, it was a bit of a slog taking down the stand and driving back to Devon on Sunday night - but still worth it: we had a great exhibition with loads of interest, including the big Kevin asking for our brochures and enquiring after our services for his house in Somerset. Fingers crossed !

The organisers liked our stand and our products, too, we even got two of the coveted 'GRAND DESIGN loves' product badges: one for the Proppy folding chair, the other for the screen shelving system. - And they almost gave us a third one, they liked the low sideboard just as much.


The first orders have already come in as well as some commissions and requests for quotations, so we will be busy busy busy - just as anticipated. A great start for the summer.
