Mailen Design

Operating across London and Oxfordshire, Mailen Design characterizes its residential and hospitality projects through expressive masonry detailing—where corbelled brick bands and header courses transition historic structures into modern additions—complemented by slatted timber millwork and high-contrast interior focal points. The portfolio serves as a strong reference when resolving delicate brick-to-glass junctions on urban housing extensions or specifying slatted visual screens alongside custom lighting for dining spaces.
