I suspect that the ground floor had a hallway previously, I would be tempted to reinstate a smaller version hallway but not as far as the staircase with maybe another inner door and create room for coats shoes etc to be stored in this area. This will create a cosier seating area near the window. I agree with others that a sofa across the room near the stairs would create a more workable lounge with maybe a dining table behind. I would certainly keep the double doors maybe a bi-fold version to give more space and install doors to the open shelves to unify the kitchen.

They do amazing guided architectural tours of the Barbican - I went on one a few years ago, totally brilliant and made me love the place even more. Also, if you love the Barbican, too, check out 'I, Anna', a UK film that came out in 2012 with Charlotte Rampling, which shows off the flats really well via the beautifully done interior of one of them (though it's quite a dark film, be warned!). Yes, I think I'm a Barbican nerd.

We will be posting more photos of the woodland area designed and being created at the moment. It includes a small water feature/ rock pool with woodland planting. This is a property with extreme levels and the best part is the water feature was set on the diagonal level change and it was the most natural pond to build!

This massive space was the biggest challenge as the be can easily feel lost end the sea of space. See how we solves the issues in this space below Built-in functional storage that’s also beautiful. Jaw-dropping wall mural to fill the blank space without it feeling imposing (after all it’s a soothing space!) A bold super king-sized bed fills the vast space in a deep teal that flirts with the stunning mural. Simple bulb lights by the bed create a warm glow for the client to read their book before bed. Before After This space is flooded with personal pizzazz and is giving such cosy vibes which can be hard to achieve in such a large space. Click here to find out more about how our process works!
