The team’s bold stylistic approach is matched by the new layout which required numerous walls being demolished to create a spacious social area. Centred on an open-plan living and dining room, the space also includes a study and kitchen separated by movable partitions. Incorporating folding doors and sliding window panels, the custom-made partitions feature a wooden panel in the bottom, clear glass in the top and patterned glass in between for privacy. The meticulously crafted partitions were designed in contrast to the rugged concrete surfaces and exposed brickwork that dominate the space as was the herringbone flooring. The latter is a nod to the property’s mid-century heritage with wooden inlays demarcating the position of the original walls that were demolished.

Stripped down to the building’s concrete and masonry core, and lined with visible pipework, junction boxes and cable trays painted in white, the apartment exudes some serious loft vibes, enhanced by the stainless-steel kitchen cabinets and an industrial light pendant over the dining table, whilst conveying a certain nostalgic mid-century charm thanks to the aforementioned wood and glass partitions and parquet flooring as well as a hand-picked vintage furniture. Mixed with contemporary pieces and artworks, ultimately the apartment’s decor paints a more nuanced picture that successfully blurs the lines between industrial, modernist and modern.
