Pudimos crear varios escenarios para el espacio de día. Colocamos una puerta-corredera que separa salón y cocina, forrandola igual como el tabique, con piedra fina de pizarra procedente de Oriente. Decoramos el rincón de desayunos de la cocina en el mismo estilo que el salón, para que al estar los dos espacios unidos, tengan continuidad. El salón y el comedor visualmente están zonificados por uno de los sofás y la columna, era la petición de la clienta. A pesar de que una de las propuestas del proyecto era de pintar el salón en color neutra, la clienta quería arriesgar y decorar su salón con su color mas preferido- el verde. Siempre nos adoptamos a los deseos del cliente y no dudamos dos veces en elegir un papel pintado ecléctico Royal Fernery de marca Cole&Son, buscándole una acompañante perfecta- pintura verde de marca Jotun. Las molduras y cornisas eran imprescindibles para darle al salón un toque clásico y atemporal. A la hora de diseñar los muebles, la clienta nos comento su sueño-tener una chimenea para recordarle los años que vivió en los Estados Unidos. Ella estaba segura que en un apartamento era imposible. Pero le sorprendimos diseñando un mueble de TV, con mucho almacenaje para sus libros y integrando una chimenea de bioethanol fabricada en especial para este mueble de madera maciza de roble. Los sofás tienen mucho protagonismo y contraste, tapizados en tela de color nata, de la marca Crevin. Las mesas de centro transmiten la nueva tendencia- con la chapa de raíz de roble, combinada con acero negro. Las mesitas auxiliares son de mármol Carrara natural, con patas de acero negro de formas curiosas. Las lamparas de sobremesa se han fabricado artesanalmente en India, y aun cuando no están encendidas, aportan mucha luz al salón. La lampara de techo se fabrico artesanalmente en Egipto, es de brónze con gotas de cristal. Juntos con el papel pintado, crean un aire misterioso y histórico. La mesa y la librería son diseñadas por el estudio Victoria Interiors y fabricados en roble marinado con grietas y poros abiertos. La librería tiene un papel importante en el proyecto- guarda la colección de libros antiguos y vajilla de la familia, a la vez escondiendo el radiador en la parte inferior. Los detalles como cojines de terciopelo, cortinas con tela de Aldeco, alfombras de seda de bambú, candelabros y jarrones de nuestro estudio, pufs tapizados con tela de Ze con Zeta fueron herramientas para acabar de decorar el espacio.

Pranzo vista cucina | per la cucina sono state sfruttati una serie di spazi ritagliati e ricavati in maniera ingegnosa. La zona tecnica è in wengè come il tavolo da pranzo mentre tutti gli altri contenitori sono stati trattati con la stessa finitura del muro per renderli "meno visibili". Fotografo: Maurizio Sala

With both parents in this Chiswick family working from home for the foreseeable future, there was an urgent need to create more space as the home office wasn’t big enough for the two of them. So the simple solution was to create a garden office - one that embraced the outoors but which was also within easy reach of the kitchen for a coffee top up. Reclaimed cladding was used externally to give the office a weathered look, whilst colourful wallpaper and painted doors helped to brighten the space and make it feel more homely. Re-used laboratory worktops form the desk and shelves, and vintage furniture was found for storage. As an added extra, it was designed so that the concertina doors could open right up to view the television - suspended on an extending bracket - so that the whole family can enjoy movies and sport outside in the summer months.
