Project Vision

We were thrilled to take on the challenge of designing this timeless apartment for a family who wanted to blend contemporary and traditional styles whilst also incorporating their fantastic art collection and collectable items. Knowing Belsize Park well, we wanted to embrace the rich history and distinct architectural character while giving the space a more modern feel.

This brief included a brand new kitchen and dining space which opened in to the living room - possibly the most important room in the home! Our design also included a practical and well planned study area which needed to make the most of every inch of the under eave space with bespoke joinery. The bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms needed to provide some all important calm and escape.
