12th June 2025 | IN INTERIOR DESIGN PROJECTS | BY SBID Share Tweet Pinterest LinkedIn Tucked discreetly between two existing homes in the creative riverside town of Wivenhoe, just outside Colchester, The Hideaway is a striking new build that defies expectations. Its distinctive layout and modern exterior give way to a surprising and innovative interior – a true architectural “tardis” that unfolds across multiple levels. Photography: Kezia Tan Photography: Kezia Tan Designed by NB Interiors UK, the home’s dynamic split-level design sets it apart. Bedrooms and living areas are positioned across different levels, creating a sense of space and depth rarely found in town-centre properties. To help potential buyers envision the lifestyle offered by this unique layout, the interiors have been thoughtfully dressed to highlight how each space can be used and enjoyed. Photography: Kezia Tan Photography: Kezia Tan Fresh white walls provide a crisp canvas, brought to life by a curated collection of artwork from celebrated local artist Joe Lichtenstein. These vibrant touches complement the colourful, contemporary furniture and designer lighting, resulting in an aesthetic that’s both modern and welcoming. Photography: Kezia Tan The master bedroom, with its soaring 4-metre-high ceiling, is a standout feature. A dramatic modern chandelier and oversized artwork accentuate the vertical space, adding a bold yet serene atmosphere. Each ensuite bathroom has been individually styled, maintaining a cohesive sense of calm luxury across the home.

Midway, a beautifully designed courtyard opens off the master bedroom. Full-height glass windows here flood the interior with natural light, enhancing the sense of openness. The wide window ledge has been styled to draw the eye, linking indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly. Photography: Kezia Tan Art and interior design have been carefully curated to complement the architecture. Every sightline—from bedroom to courtyard—has been considered, ensuring the views are as compelling as the layout itself.
