The country house ’laboratory’ of Sibyl Colefax designer Philip Hooper | House & Garden

A master of his art, House & Garden’s Designer of the Year Philip Hooper studied to be an architect and later learned his trade as an interior designer with the legendary John Stefanidis. His knowledge of architecture, design and decorating is second to none. He joined Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler nearly 20 years ago juggles projects as diverse as an über-modern ski chalet in Canada and a classical-style newbuild in the Home Counties with equal skill and flair. A continual quest to search out the best local craftspeople to work with – whether in Whistler, London or Marrakech – ensures his interiors are always outstanding in quality. His own country home is his laboratory. A warm, interesting, constantly evolving work in progress. See more of Philip’s work here: Subscribe to House & Garden ►► CONNECT WITH HOUSE & GARDEN Web:
