This renovation of a period townhouse lovingly restores many original features whilst introducing a modern perspective. Bespoke stone and joinery elements slot in delicately around the ornate mouldings adding layers of richness to the material palette and tailoring the rooms to the clients needs. The result is a home that feels at once distinctly contemporary yet clearly rooted in its historical context.

The furniture selection is similarly eclectic: Antique cabinets sit alongside minimalist pieces from Joris Poggioli and Haymann Editions; A Swedish art deco lamp and side board frame a modern De La Espada Armchair. This is a design that dances between eras and styles, delighting in the contrasts and unique compositions that can only be achieved through careful sourcing and a willingness to take risks.

An earthy palette of deep reds, mustards and greens create a restful atmosphere. Sumptuous velvets and boucles bring depth to the upholstery as well as the fantastically knotty tweeds from Mourne Studio textiles that make up the curtains and handmade bedspreads. A mixture of travertines and handmade tiles provide charming irregularity to the otherwise sharp lines in the kitchen and bathroom.
