“Working with Maria and Eris on the interior design for Lympstone Manor was an incredible journey, right from their initial creative pitch to the launch of what has always been my vision. Meraki proved to be innovative, efficient and detailed throughout the project and passionately embraced my initial brief bringing to life my dream; a country house hotel for the 21st century.”
