The unusual layout of this lower ground floor flat lent itself to a design more akin to a European apartment than a typical Victorian London conversion. Drawing on the refined elegance of Parisian and Scandinavian interiors, the space was transformed into a serene, personal sanctuary with soft, feminine touches for a client leaving their long-standing family home.

Delicate decorative details, from restored coving to bespoke joinery, take cues from the original plasterwork and fanlights above the doorways. These heritage elements were carefully preserved and reinterpreted, forming a subtle dialogue with the contemporary interventions and guiding the overall aesthetic.

The interiors feel quietly sophisticated, where original character and contemporary refinement coexist to create a space that is both intimate and effortlessly elegant.
