The clients, an American couple from California, longed for a base in London, from which they could easily travel in and out of to fulfil their lifelong wish to explore Europe whilst being in the hustle and bustle of the city.
They found their perfect pad in an Art deco mansion block in one of the most prestigious parts of town. We were asked to design and project manage the project from start to finish, a complete refurbishment comprising a new open plan living / kitchen and dining area and two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The brief was to come up with a modern apartment boasting minimal but bold features with state of the art technology to control sound, lighting, heating and security.
Modern apartment with a bold aesthetic throughout
The kitchen surfaces are all made bespoke and show delicate craftsmanship. The cupboard fronts are wrapped in intricately textured sheets in gunmetal. This is paired with a slim line ceramic slab used for the worktop, emulating a rich Calacatta Oro marble. The minimal look is further achieved by (electronic) push to open drawers and doors, forgoing the need of handles. Attention to detail can be found elsewhere in the apartment, where bold colours take centre stage: The interior design included bespoke joinery, fitted and loose furniture, decorative lighting, window treatments down to interior styling to achieve a coherent scheme.
