HOW DID YOU COME TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT?
The clients discovered our portfolio through an online article and were drawn to our style and expertise, making us the ideal fit for their project.
WHAT WAS THE BRIEF?
The clients’ primary goal was to transform the dated flat into a modern, functional space that caters to the practicalities of city living. Their key objectives included optimising space, celebrating and maximising the natural light and establishing a seamless design flow across the entire flat. Our approach blended classic elegance with contemporary comfort, focusing on keeping things simple and functional.
We paid close attention to the details, ensuring each element was thoughtfully chosen for a well-rounded design.
WHICH ROOM WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT TO THE HOMEOWNERS?
The living area, featuring an open-plan kitchen, and the main bedroom with its en suite. Their key desires were for more space, enhanced functionality, increased storage and abundant natural light. The aim for the living area was to create a warm and inviting space for family gatherings and guests, while the main bedroom and bathroom were designed to be spacious and comfortable, reflecting the clients’ daily sanctuary.
WHAT WAS YOUR INSPIRATION FOR THE SCHEME?
Our design draws inspiration from our clients’ unique taste and the refined ambience of Knightsbridge, it effortlessly blends classic and contemporary influences capturing the sophisticated essence of living there. The result is a practical, easy-to-live-in London apartment that harmoniously combines functionality with a beautifully crafted design.
