Notting Hill is one of the most charming and stylish districts in London. This apartment is situated at Hereford Road, on a 19th century building, where Guglielmo Marconi (the pioneer of wireless communication) lived for a year; now the home of my clients, a french couple. The owners desire was to celebrate the building's past while also reflecting their own french aesthetic, so we recreated victorian moldings, cornices and rosettes. We also found an iron fireplace, inspired by the 19th century era, which we placed in the living room, to bring that cozy feeling without loosing the minimalistic vibe. We installed customized cement tiles in the bathroom and the Burlington London sanitaires, combining both french and british aesthetic. We decided to mix the traditional style with modern white bespoke furniture. All the apartment is in bright colors, with the exception of a few details, such as the fireplace and the kitchen splash back: bold accents to compose together with the neutral colors of the space. We have found the best layout for this small space by creating light transition between the pieces. First axis runs from the entrance door to the kitchen window, while the second leads from the window in the living area to the window in the bedroom. Thanks to this alignment, the spatial arrangement is much brighter and vaster, while natural light comes to every room in the apartment at any time of the day. Ola Jachymiak Studio

Doesn't this look stunning? Elephants, circus tents and performing ponies for the walls of the room of your toddler. The beautiful pattern is both sophisticated, yet playful, and fills out the space, look and feel of the room in numerous ways.

Beautiful pots and planters are a great addition to any garden or outdoor space, adding colour, seasonal interest or delicious herbs, fruit and vegetables for cooking. We have a number of clients for whom we design and plant their outdoor containers, from a perennial year round display to something seasonal or edible. Contemporary to romantic, custom built or repurposed, local or imported. It's a great way to change a space and keep it interesting without too much cost or effort!.

La scala in lamiera di ferro è composta da due rampe: la prima è una scatola autoportante con un pannello verticale sottoposto ai gradini, la seconda è formalmente l’inverso dell’altra, con il pannello verticale sovrapposto ai gradini: l’inversione dei vuoti e pieni tra le due rampe crea un effetto ottico che confonde, come le scale escheriane. Il pannello della rampa superiore presenta una “finestra” rettangolare: un varco, un passaggio tra due piani, che instaura un dialogo con la scaffalatura retrostante, che i clienti volevano utilizzare come libreria per tutta la sua altezza. I ripiani, già esistenti, sono stati riposizionati allineandoli alle pedate della scala. L’ultima pedata, che approda al soppalco, interseca il parquet rendendo visibile l’appoggio strutturale.
