A distinctive refurbishment of a raised ground floor apartment, designed to uncover and enhance the property\u2019s inherent charm. The result is a home that embodies a timeless, atmospheric quality, seamlessly blending character and modern living.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The refurbishment of this Belsize Park apartment was unlike any typical residential project. Our clients envisioned a home that was monastic, rustic, minimal, and ascetic \u2014 a space designed to foster calm, stillness, and peace. They sought an atmospheric and timeless environment, where simplicity and subtlety could take centre stage.<\/p>\n

Our approach focused on stripping the apartment back to its essential elements. Walls, floors, and ceilings\u2014to create a refined and serene backdrop. A new opening was introduced in the entrance hallway, re-connecting the previously separate front and rear principal rooms. This intervention not only improved the physical flow of the space but also allowed reflected light to animate the interiors.<\/p>\n

The renovation celebrated the building\u2019s history and imperfections. Existing wallpaper was carefully removed to reveal the aged plaster beneath, showcasing the beauty of the old surfaces. To complement this, new lime-polished plaster was applied, harmonising with the original materials while maintaining a clear distinction between the old and the new.
\nThe bespoke kitchen and joinery were crafted from raw, elemental materials, including patinated brass, mild steel, concrete, and timber. These materials, like the plaster walls, were chosen for their ability to age gracefully, transforming naturally over time and deepening the home\u2019s connection to the passage of time.<\/p>\n

The result is a space that embodies simplicity and serenity, honouring the imperfect beauty of history while creating a timeless sanctuary for modern living.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n

“The goal was to accentuate imperfection and patina but at the same time, create a home that was warm and comfortable to live in. The mandate included a focus on wood, concrete, metal. A key challenge was how to blend the original plasterwork with the new venetian plasterwork. Anthony and the team delivered above expectations on all aspects of this mandate. They were a pleasure to work with.”<\/p>\n
