HOLLAND PARK
Architecture and interior design for a client’s private residence in Holland Park, London.

The property suffered from a lack of natural light due to the depth of the building and from an extremely bad layout which created a living room of only 20sqm in a property of about 160sqm overall floor space.

Two new light wells were created one by the entrance to capture the light from the south and one in the heart of the building by creating a glass staircase with a central steel spine.

The property was extended in two different areas and gained an additional 40sqm. The space was used for a third bedroom, an extended master bedroom and a large ensuite bathroom while retaining the two terraces.

The house employs the latest technology for lighting, av equipment and glass. Apart from frameless glazing for skylights and glass walls, the glass front of the ensuite bathroom uses electronic privacy glass to block the view from the master bedroom when required.
