Located in the heart of London, the client approached us to build a private yet indulgent home for their large family. With a generous 750sqm floor plan, the grand interior spaces have been meticulously detailed with luxurious monochrome fixtures and fittings, while allowing the client to display their personalities throughout.

The three storey new build hosts generous living spaces and bathrooms, as well as a wine room, designated entertainment area and a dramatic helical sweeping staircase. The garden has been designed to provide additional entertainment and relaxation space.
Of paramount importance to the homeowners is the outside space and gardens. A grand terrace was designed to include an external kitchen, dining, sunken seating area with lily bowl and living room area with an external fireplace, providing additional entertaining space that was required from the brief.
On the ground floor, the sculptural staircase is a striking focal point stretching in two parts to the second floor, which gives a sense of great height and scale. The kitchen and living areas are mirrored by the outdoor kitchen and dining area, providing transience between the indoors and out, which was an essential requirement for the client.
The bathroom marbles were carefully selected to be as close to a perfect inversion of each other as possible, with the monochrome adding to the impressive contrast of his and hers. The floor-to-ceiling slab partitions are set to be perpendicular to the rear wall and window allowing light to flow into the entire bathroom space. The striking pebble free-standing bath floats harmoniously in front of one of the windows. The effect is a dramatic yet functional bathroom space where the rich materiality is given space to perform.
