This is the first in a series of images and IGTV posts showing the transformation of our apartment renovation in Kensington, London. It is not often as an interior designer that you get to totally transform a home from top to bottom. This four-bed apartment situated in one of London’s most prestigious garden squares was a joy to work on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I designed and project-managed the entire renovation. The 2,500sqft apartment was tired and needed a total transformation. My brief was to create a classic contemporary space. The flat was stripped back to the bare bones; we removed the old flooring and installed full soundproofing throughout the apartment. I then laid a dark Wenge parquet flooring and kept the walls in a light off-white paint to keep the apartment light and airy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I decided to retain the original mouldings on the walls and paint the areas (walls, moulding and covings) in the same colour. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This first image shows the Bolection-style fireplace with the dark slate contrast hearth and slips. I balanced the room by placing two dark wood sideboards and a dark round mirror above the fireplace as a punchy contract to the pale walls.

This Georgian manor has undergone a complete refurbishment, transforming it from a former hotel back into a grand private residence across five floors. The property now boasts a stunning master suite with a luxurious en suite, bespoke wardrobes, and a spacious dressing room. The elegant drawing room features bespoke furniture and reinstated fireplaces, while the basement houses a sophisticated bar and wine cellar. The Tom Howley kitchen showcases top-tier craftsmanship, and the study is furnished with Andrew Martin pieces. Bathrooms are exquisitely finished with CP Hart fixtures, including a large chandelier in the master bathroom, and all bedrooms have their own en suite, including a guest room and a beautifully designed little girl's room. The home also features a gym, sauna, steam room, playroom, and a lounge link leading to a hot tub. Original bay windows have been reinstated, and finishes include Havwood engineered boards, tumbled tiled floors, and marble tiling in the bathrooms. Comar carpets with stair runners and stair rods, along with designer lighting by Flos and Atriumide, complete the luxurious feel. Every detail has been meticulously crafted, including bespoke wardrobes and custom furniture throughout.

Set in the heart of Dublin 4, The Wellington honours the heritage of the home and site. The design blends contemporary details within partial conservation architecture. The house is home to an old Dublin Coach House - which was protected by conservation architecture. Original sash windows and a stone wall built in a traditional method were elements included as part of this conservation process. introducing the coral paint finish to the sash window frames walks the tightrope of modernity and heritage. This coral colour is used throughout the house on all window frames and doors as well as the stone for the kitchen island and a double height wall in the extremely unique interior courtyard - bringing a sense of warmth to the home. A corten steel structural sculpture sits at the entrance to this house creating a grand entrance to this grand home. The door was another aspect of the conservation architecture that had to remain and was a dichotomy to the grandeur of the home and design. A monochromatic bathroom with a mirror obelisk that disappears almost as soon as you notice it makes for a surreal and unexpected element. Mirror finishes on all interior window pockets provide a sense of scale and generous proportions to the spaces. Specialist wall finishes, materiality and play on scale and depth make this a harmonious and luxurious home. This project received an Honorable Mention at the Architecture Masterprize 2024.

Die Liebe zum Meer sollte sich im Konzept wiederfinden. Die Bauherren haben sich mit Begeisterung für Steinteppich entschieden, den ich ihnen vorgestellt habe.
