Making Spaces work for people

About Us

TALK TO US

At Project One, we don’t just design spaces – we design to elevate the way you live. For over two decades, we’ve been transforming homes by putting lifestyle at the heart of every decision. Not bound by convention or confined by catalogues, we rethink what a kitchen can be, how a bedroom should feel, and what it really means to live well.

Whether it’s a barista corner, a library, a sauna, or a cinema room – if it matters to you, it matters to us. From heritage renovations to modern new builds, every project we take on is deeply bespoke, personally considered, and thoughtfully designed to elevate the way you live every day.

Introducing Dorian

Founder and director of excellence

My design journey started with a film – BIG. I remember sitting as a kid, watching Tom Hanks live out every dream in that enormous New York loft: no walls, no partitions – just endless possibilities and a BMX in the middle of the living room. It hit me hard. I realised that spaces could be joyful, freeing, and a total expression of who you are. That’s what good design should be.

Since then, we’ve worked on apartments, houses globally, even palaces in Dubai. But today, we’re settled in Wales, working with clients from Cardiff and Bristol, to Bath and beyond, to reimagine what living can look like. Our ethos has never changed: design without boundaries can – and should – be a way of life.

To me, that means putting aside conventional thinking and digging deep into how you really want to live. Let’s throw out the rulebook. Let’s remove cabinets from kitchens and reimagine them with walk-in larders, barista zones, and dedicated cooking stations. I want to explore how we can blend tribal food prep techniques with 21st-century smart tech and see what comes out of the design pot.

I want to smile while I shower. And I want you to feel like a Lamborghini when you walk out of your bathroom. That’s not hyperbole: it’s ambition. Chasing perfection is what drives me every day. I like clean. I like clever. And I love spaces that the mind doesn’t have to navigate. For me, it’s all about the defining lines-the stops and starts between the structure and the surface materials. That’s where the magic happens. That’s how we create something truly bespoke. A space that doesn’t just look great, but feels effortless to live in.

OUR PROJECTS

Gabriela Tsakova

Architect

As an architect, my approach to design has always been shaped by the relationship between architecture and interior space. Architecture operates at a larger scale, shaping buildings, streets, and the character of the environments around us. Interior design, in contrast, focuses on the spaces where daily life unfolds — the rooms that are experienced closely and personally.
This contrast is something I find deeply inspiring. While architecture establishes the structure, proportion, and rhythm of a place, interior design brings a more intimate layer, responding to the people who inhabit those spaces and how they live within them.
Working with residential projects in particular offers a unique opportunity to create environments that are both considered and personal. Every project becomes a dialogue — understanding how a space should feel, how it will be used, and how thoughtful design can quietly shape everyday life.
Through my work, I aim to bring together architectural clarity and carefully considered interiors, creating spaces that feel balanced, timeless, and deeply connected to the people who experience them.
