A House in South Kensington, London.
A complete remodel of a substantial late 19th century house overlooking one of London's most elegant garden squares with an eclectic mix of historical details and contemporary architectural aesthetic.
Design details include a 9 meter (30 ft) wall of minimal kitchen units with a backlit glass wall; re-instatement of original Victorian plaster ceiling cornices; floating shadow-gap walls and pour-in resin floors with radiant heating; full height 180 degree hinged doors and full height panels concealing additional heating from wall radiators.
Custom designed furniture includes a powder coated white steel kitchen bar and a cantilevered bed. The contemporary elements juxtapose the original stripped back Bath stone staircase and iron balustrades leading to the bedroom and bathroom floors. Restored original shuttered full length windows overlook the gardens and lead to an outside balcony. A custom designed master bathroom with double-size walk in glass shower and other bathrooms with coloured glass wet rooms continue the theme of natural materials, continuity and simple elegance.
