We’re a small team with big ideas and a passion for doing things well

Robert Tewkesbury

Tewkesbury House is built around one craftsman.

Robert qualified as a cabinetmaker at eighteen, through a traditional City & Guilds apprenticeship. Thirty-eight years on, he still designs, makes, and installs every project the studio takes on.

His work is defined by a technical eye honed over four decades, an attention to detail most clients only register once the work is finished, and a genuine love for the art of making beautiful things by hand.

A master craftsman in the proper sense of the term — quietly, entirely devoted to the craft.

Helen

Helen is the studio's Creative Director.

She works alongside Robert from the earliest stages of every project — shaping the design brief, refining the visual direction, and bringing a designer's eye to the conversations that decide what a room will become.

Where Robert's instinct is for the structure, the joinery, and the build, Helen's is for atmosphere, palette, and the way a finished room is going to feel to live in.

The work the studio is known for sits at the meeting point of the two.
