The second of two apartments we designed within a Kensington development. The brief covered the open plan living and dining space, the kitchen, a study area and the principal bedroom.
The Scheme
The main living space opens through full height sliding glazing onto a planted terrace, and the layout is arranged so that the planting is visible from almost every seat. A long pale sectional sofa runs along the glazing, with a pair of burnt orange velvet tub chairs turned back into the room to stop the arrangement feeling one directional.
Detail and Joinery
A linear gas fire is set into a full height travertine wall, with no mantel or surround so the stone reads as a single plane. Pale oak joinery with open shelving carries through the kitchen, the dining area and the study nook, which keeps a relatively compact apartment feeling continuous rather than divided into small rooms.
Palette and Materials
Cream, stone and pale oak as the base, with burnt orange, bronze and polished steel as the accents. Sheer full height curtains soften the glazing without losing light, and a polished metal drum table reflects the planting back into the room.
