Oliver Burns Studio curates our new playlist for April

17th April 2025

After a high-pressure week of meetings, management and making connections, the best way to unwind is to plug in your headphones and allow a superb selection of tunes to take your brain far away from the world of work. Enter the Walpole Weekend Wind-Down: a monthly playlist of tracks created by one of our members or partners that will help you transition into an end-of-week headspace. 

For our April edition, we asked Sharon Lillywhite, the Creative Director of Oliver Burns Studio to put together a playlist that gets us in the mood for longer days and alfresco evenings. And boy did she deliver – just in time for the Easter long weekend.

"At the moment, I’m really enjoying these gorgeous lighter spring evenings, which make it feel like we’re already getting a sense of summer’s arrival!" says Lillywhite. "The Oliver Burns Studio playlist is inspired by this and has me dreaming of poolside afternoons at our Cobham House and golden hour spent at our Italian villa, The Lakehouse. It’s the perfect soundtrack for weekend entertaining - whether you're hosting rooftop drinks or gathering for the first outdoor dinners of the season. Just like the spaces we design, it sets the tone for positive vibes and good energy.”

If the playlist has got you in a holiday mood, you might just see some of Oliver Burns Studio's recent work on your next trip abroad. A couple of months ago, the firm unveiled its redesigned space, The Windsor Suite, for fellow Walpole member Heathrow VIP – the London airport's private terminal. 

"Collaborating with the incredible team at Heathrow VIP has been an absolute pleasure, and it’s been so rewarding for the OBS team to bring to life the unparalleled experience they offer," says Lillywhite of the project. "Every detail of this space has been thoughtfully designed to show what it means to travel well, offering the ultimate in comfort and elegance."

Recline your seat, fold up your tray table and relax with Oliver Burns Studio's sun-drenched tracks below.
