Phase 1: Construction and refurbishment of kitchen and bathroom areas. Our client required proposals to reconfigure the existing living and kitchen areas finding ways to maximise space usage and to look at building a new bedroom with ensuite in the existing roof space.

This two bedroom flat with tired yellow painted wall finishes called for a new interior designed modernised scheme. The client required interior design advice on finishes, furniture selection and arrangement, and design of discreet bespoke joinery. The existing brick work to the chimney breast was exposed in the living and bedroom areas allowing for the natural texture and colour of the bricks to bring character to the room.

Planning permission was achieved to strip out a grade II listed apartment building and to upgrade the finishes to provide two high specification contemporary flats. The proposals included a bespoke kitchen with a new visual connection to the spacious living and dining area. A new fully functioning stone clad fireplace was designed for the living area along with concealed joinery and feature lighting.
