DEFINITION OF MODERN COSMOPOLITAN LIFESTYLE. CHISWICK
While a property development venture, the design response was born from the bachelor’s desire to create a peaceful retreat from his demanding, globe-trotting business lifestyle. With shared deep appreciation for the architectural mastery of Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, we envisioned a space that harmonises the clean lines and minimalist elegance of 1920s with the vibrancy of modern urban living.
This fully bespoke renovation was crafted to be more than just a home—it is a haven where he can unwind with a good book, surrounded by an environment that speaks to our client’s tastes. The design seamlessly integrates quiet, contemplative spaces with an open connection to the lively atmosphere of Chiswick Village; the best of both worlds. Whether savouring the tranquility of privacy or stepping out to experience the buzz of nearby restaurants, this home perfectly embodies the balance of sophistication and comfort that defines the modern cosmopolitan lifestyle.

"GREAT INTERIORS THAT MOVE THE SPIRIT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN RARE. IN EVERY CASE THEY ARE UNIQUE, POETIC, PRODUCTS OF THE HEART"
PROJECT GOAL.
BLEND OF MODERN DESIGN WITH Prized Art Collection
Our client, a private developer with a discerning eye for both art and architecture, envisioned a living space that seamlessly blends modern bachelor living while showcasing his prized art and furniture collection.
The goal was to create a refined, inviting sanctuary—private yet filled with natural light—offering an escape from London’s busy streets while elevating comfort and style.
While designed for a profitable sale, the true allure lies in the seamless integration of the client’s collection of rare furniture, lighting, and artwork from global travels.Each piece was carefully selected and strategically placed to serve as a focal point that tells a story. That sets to exemplify how to seamlessly incorporate cherished collections into the very fabric of a home’s design, creating a living space that is as much a gallery of personal history as it is a modern, comfortable abode.

Urban Masculinity. Uncomplicated Modern classicism for the Aspirational Bachelor
The vision was to seamlessly uniting the space into a sophisticated bachelor pad designed for the discerning individual. This retreat offers a sanctuary where one can effortlessly recharge after demanding global endeavours.
By reimagining the original floorpans, we introduced an innovative upside-down living concept, centred around a understated open staircase that serves as both a functional and architectural masterpiece. This transformation involved s a complete garage overhaul and a major loft conversion, paving the way for an expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area, as well as a comforting top-floor master suite with an ensuite.
The result is a space that exudes understated elegance and functional comfort, without compromising on style. The timeless design that honours the past of its original structure.

Elevated Masculinity: Embracing Warm Minimalism with Classical but Uncomplicated Elegance, Where Every Detail is Essential and Nothing is Superfluous
REIMAGINED UPSIDE-DOWN LIVING. CAPITALISING ON BEST VIEWS
There is nothing what you’d expect of the post-war modernist property standing amongst its Victorian-era neighbours. From the upside down layout that elevates the main living area to the heart of a three-storey bay window, where it capitalises on the best views the property has to offer.
This innovative approach not only enhances the visual appeal but also creates a unique living experience that is both modern and thoughtful.Inside, the sense of space is amplified by the inclusion of architecturally clean, bespoke built-in storage, which seamlessly integrates into the design, creating hidden nooks that add character without overwhelming the eye. This subtle elegance is further complemented by the clever transformation of the ground floor, which once housed an unloved garage.
The space now reimagined into a functional and stylish area, showcasing our ability to embrace and overcome challenges, turning them into opportunities for a fully purposeful design.
