This project creates a distinguished two-storey apartment interior within a converted office building in central London. The project is an exercise in understated opulence, relying on clean lines and a carefully composed palette of materials to provide a neutral setting for a discerning Client's ever-changing art collection.
The design uses subtle reflections to visually widen the staircase; glazed walls incorporating gold silk and recessed handrails create compound reflections that extend in all directions.
Back-lit clerestory glazing in the Living Room creates a lantern that acts as a light source by day or by night, avoiding the need to clutter the ceiling plane with down lights.
