At Presence & Co., we believe great buildings are about more than structure, they’re about how they feel, function and make people feel at home. That’s why we’re proud to work alongside talented creative partners who share our commitment to quality, thoughtful design, and exceptional execution. One such partner is interior designer Ellen Leedham of Salthouse Design, whose skill and eye for detail have helped elevate several of our projects.
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
Ellen Leedham founded Salthouse Design with a vision to create interiors that are both beautiful and practical. Her design ethos blends timeless style with contemporary sensibility, ensuring each space feels personal, comfortable and purposeful. Whether working on residential homes or commercial interiors, Ellen’s approach is rooted in understanding how people live, work and interact within a space, something that aligns perfectly with Presence & Co.’s focus on quality, functionality and client satisfaction.
Over the years, our teams have collaborated on a number of projects where structure and interior design come together seamlessly. For us, having an interior designer like Ellen at the table early in the process adds real value: it brings clarity to client aspirations, enhances design continuity, and contributes to spaces that are as beautiful to live in as they are structurally sound.
Bringing Design to Life at Bewl Water
One of our current and most exciting collaborations with Ellen and Salthouse Design is the project at Bewl Water. Here, structural vision meets interior expertise. Presence & Co. is managing the construction and development aspects, while Ellen is shaping the interior narrative, selecting finishes, refining layouts, and ensuring that every detail supports the lifestyle and aesthetic ambitions of the client.
Through this partnership, the Bewl Water project has become much more than just a build, it’s a thoughtful collaboration aimed at creating a handful of stunning holiday apartments that feels cohesive, carefully considered and truly exceptional.
Why Great Design Matters
In today’s property landscape, the difference between a well-built home and a well-loved home often lies in the interiors. Thoughtful design enhances daily living, improving flow, maximising light and space, and creating environments that elevate everyday moments.
That’s where Ellen’s expertise comes in. With a deep understanding of colour, texture, lighting and space planning, she brings interiors to life in ways that are both inspiring and functional. Combined with Presence & Co.’s precision in construction and project delivery, the partnership ensures that every part of a project works in harmony, from foundations to furnishings.
Looking Forward
Projects like Bewl Water remind us why we value collaborative relationships so highly. Working with talented professionals like Ellen enriches the journey from concept to completion, and it delivers homes that feel complete in every sense, structurally robust, beautifully designed and totally liveable.
If you’re considering a new build or refurbishment and appreciate the impact that thoughtful interior design can have, teaming up with designers early in the process can make a significant difference. It enhances clarity, elevates outcomes, and ensures the finished space truly reflects your vision.
