A contemporary penthouse apartment in St John's Wood in a converted church. Right next to the famous Beatles crossing next to the Abbey Road. Concrete clad bathrooms with a fully lit ceiling made of plexiglass panels. The walls and flooring is made of real concrete panels, which give a very cool effect. While underfloor heating keeps these spaces warm, the panels themselves seem to emanate a cooling feeling. Both the ventilation and lighting is hidden above, and the ceiling also allows us to integrate the overhead shower. Integrated washing machine within a beautifully detailed walnut joinery.

Photo Credit: Robert Sanderson Design: Spencer Swaffer Antiques Banks of Annabel's hydrangeas flank the shiny sky blue front door gracing the entrance to this Georgian house in Arundel. John Constable stayed here about two hundred years ago and even today the elegantly symmetrical facade remains unchanged. Once past the front door, all similarity to the formality of that by gone era fades in an instant. Colourful contemporary paintings greet you, mixed with a delightful creative kaleidoscope of furnishings, artefacts and paintings, spanning many different centuries from many European capitals. This beautiful bathroom is part of a project by Spencer Swaffer Antiques in Arundel, West Sussex and was published in the August 2016 issue of Homes & Antiques. The centre piece of the bathroom is our beautiful Tamar cast iron roll top bath which has been polished to give it an eye-catching shine that reflects the light. The large panoramic window frames the view and provides a perfect background for the bath. It gleams in the natural light of the space and elegantly pairs with the chrome Double Lowther Vanity Basin with Arabescato Marble, the 6-Bar wall mounted towel rail and the bathroom accessories that were used to maintain high levels of daylight.

A contemporary glass box extension was installed within the balcony of a penthouse apartment in South West, London. This extension used structural glazing, minimal windows and glass beams. To reduce radiant heat into the building, the client used solar control glass. Low maintenance coating was used on the external face of the glazing to wash any dirt or deposits.

This is an example of a farmhouse home in Munich.

These heavy industrial handles are perfect for this design. They are minimalist and yet impact greatly upon the overall look of the room. A perfect example of modern minimalism.
