Project Overview

A full internal strip-out with an extension, top-to-bottom reconfiguration and interior decoration throughout.

Aesthetic Direction

A fusion of minimalist contemporary and time-honoured Victorian design.

A dining area with a wooden table, chairs, and a kitchen counter with barstools, decorated with vases and plants, illuminated by natural light through large windows and a hanging wicker light.
A cozy, dimly lit living room with a green velvet sofa, a matching armchair, a decorative flowering branch in a vase, a dark desk lamp, artwork on the wall, and curtains framing the scene.

Material & Colour Palette

Characterised by the continuous use of lime washed walls in varied tones from warm neutrals for the principal living spaces to forest green for the snug and bar room alongside wire-brushed oak features, this Kensington home speaks to both summer and autumn with its rich and golden palette.
