The design is expressed using a deliberately limited palette of finishes. I sourced a stone we could use outside on terraces and garden as well as for areas like the bootroom where flooring needed to be more robust. I proposed reverting to a single staircase rising through the building’s full height rather than splitting it to create a stronger design feature, and the steel structure was finished in the same black powder coating as the kitchen.
In these light-filled, open plan spaces the selections of flooring and kitchen were key to the design. I relocated the kitchen to the rear of the 2nd floor area and proposed the largely freestanding Vipp units. As the clients leaned into an increasingly minimal aesthetic I was mindful that daily life would include young children: The design needed to remain practical as well as beautiful.
A bespoke joinery package creates streamlined storage throughout, again using finishes already present in walls and floors. Some parts feature integrated LED lighting, others allow soft/ flexible storage at low level for toys and games.
The new area on the 3rd floor is -for now- the escape area for grownups! Joinery incorporated a concealed wet bar, home working area, and a ribbon-style fireplace. We looked at every way of installing a large TV while not restricting the wonderful views. The solution was automated conceal and reveal via a drop-down panel in the ceiling. The home was completed with co-ordinating fittings and furniture from Vipp.
