This West London refurbishment draws from the Palladian symmetry of the original apartment layout, which has been emphasised through a dark walnut-lined central axis. The original structure is pared back to create an open plan, bringing natural light and air throughout. In contrast to the heavy walnut, sliding and folding elements create adaptability for different modes, dividing the open plan into more intimate pockets. The material palette is simple yet sumptuous, making reference to the original quality of the 1930’s interiors. The high specification draws from the original status and quality of the mansion block.
