the. STORY

The trendy Stoke Newington Victorian period 4-bed townhouse in East London’s Hackney. Single occupied by a family with 1 child who was unable to climb onto the property ladder of buying her own.

With natural parental instincts, the reaction to a problem was to find an alternative solution within the envelope of the existing property.
A solution that gives all the sufficient living space, privacy, yet togetherness.

CONNECTING PEOPLE TO PLACES THROUGH THE EMOTION OF COLOUR AND MATERIAL HAS ON YOU

daily. RITUALS

Interlinking spaces unexpected of a typical Victorian home layout. Expressive full height/ full room width groove panelling with hidden bespoke joinery and the open fireplace piercing through that was stripped down bare as a point to its heritage past.

With stepped access to a social area where to throw roaring dining parties that lead onto a private garden. There is nothing underwhelming about what you’d expect from your 1st-time property, but a subtly luxurious feeling of space and qualities. 

Mid-Century modern and warmly minimalist with raw materials, clean lines, minimal palette and splash of bold colours to tie in with the charms of classic style period home and long-life art collection. Comfortable and inviting.

IT IS DESIGNER’S DUTY TO CREATE TIMELESS DESIGN. THAT MEANS TO THINK REALLY FAR INTO THE FUTURE, LIKE 20 YEARS MINIMUM

SCULPTURAL

The brief was born out of at times hostile 1st time buyer property market that was stopping the daughter to flee the nest. The design response was to rethink the property layout and redefine the use of its internal rooms into interactive gallery-like spaces.

A key challenge in the design process had been constraints of period home while giving everyone enough living space without feeling cramped all under one roof. Yet retain the quality of a family home.

unique. POINTS

Avid appreciators and owners of a contemporary art collection mixed with classic and vintage pieces. Our design response was to treat this home as a private gallery space fully inspired by the origami intricacy and playfulness, by the interwoven puzzle principals of colours, textures and materials transitioning without clear start and stop.

With the Russian doll-like idea effortlessly hosting daughter’s 1-bed apartment within its property womb. Allowing the coexistence with privacy yet without the separation to one another.

“Working with Mischa and her team was an absolute joy. She took the unpractical layout of our Victorian city house and transformed it into a space for modern multi-generational living under one roof. Mischa’s expertise was a vital component of maximising the natural light, bringing in the missing colour pop and making the space work for us the extra notch. We were so happy with her work and her fresh twist on classical property that we’d have no hesitation to use her again”
