A full refurbishment to introduce a contemporary twist to the interior and still preserving the original identity of a loved family home.
A lovely and dynamic family had a clear idea for the renovation project of their beautiful house located in a quiet residential area of West Hampstead (northwest London).
Through an imaginative and thoughtful work, moving continuously between aesthetic and functionality, the final result achieved the mood and the lifestyle that the client aspired to.

The project involved the complete renovation of the property in order to reflect the client’s character and personality.
The elegant interiors are the result of a deep research and an exciting exchange of ideas with the client who has been involved in the creative process at every single stage of the project.
African roots stylishly contaminate the predominant European character of the client. Family links, passion for travel and natural curiosity pushed the client to spend time in different countries during the years.
The result is an eclectic style where everything is perfectly balanced in an elegant contemporary look.
The design has been informed by an exciting exercise around natural and pure tones with delicate pattern and texture. The African roots are palpable and the European touch allows a refined display. Artwork, wallcoverings, fabrics and colours are all linked together for a unique interior.
The understanding of the client’s vision and the full connection with the right lifestyle were the two essential ingredients for the success of the project.
Colours, texture, patterns and monochrome accents create a unique and sophisticated interior.
The property has been designed around unique pieces of art and eccentric objects. Every single area has its own strong identity and the result is a refined and cohesive space.
All furniture and accessories have been carefully selected to complete and enhance the elegant and cosy interior.
Natural materials and soft tones create a serene and peaceful atmosphere and generate a feeling of comfort.
The creative and eclectic personality of the client clearly emerges in the selection of a rich and earthy colour palette for the interior. Natural marble slabs, wide wooden planks and wool carpet have been selected for the floors and laid next to each other bringing to life a custom made and chic design.
Function and lifestyle have been side to side at every stage of the project in order to enhance the client’s quality of life.
In the downstair extension a fully operational pottery studio has been created to allow the client’s artistic talent to run free.
The project reflects the strong bond with the owners and how their lifestyle became the source of inspiration. Keeping up a running dialogue and a constant exchange of ideas generate the winning formula for the tailor made result of the design.
