Grâce au décloisonnement la lumière naturelle circule dans l’ensemble de la pièce de vie. Du salon à la cuisine en passant par la salle à manger, chaque coin de cet espace a été repensé pour offrir un maximum de confort et un design harmonieux. Les lignes épurées, les tons neutres et les matières naturelles créent une ambiance chaleureuse et accueillante.

2018 Roma, Italy LOCATION: Roma AREA: 65 sq. m. TYPE: Realized project “Might we suggest that… if the pulsing LED begins to drive you crazy, turn the box round so the LED faces to the wall or the back of your shelf” questo è il suggerimento leggibile all’interno del cartoncino dell’album Pulse dei Pink Floyd da cui scaturisce il concept creativo di questo appartamento di 65 mq situato a Roma: un progetto di interni vivo e pulsante che ben rispecchia l’animo dei proprietari, un musicista e una dottoressa in attesa del primo figlio. Il progetto di ristrutturazione ha stravolto completamente l’area living dell’appartamento, prediligendo un ampio open-space ottenuto eliminando un lungo corridoio di divisione tra l’ambiente cucina e il soggiorno, mentre più conservativa è stata la proposta progettuale nella zona notte che lascia immutate le due camere da letto ed il bagno. Con la nuova distribuzione planimetrica, sin dall’ingresso, si respira un’emozione creativa che rimanda alle sensazioni provate nel percepire per la prima volta il battito del futuro nascituro: infatti, i filari di erba artificiale a varie altezze ricordano la visualizzazione della frequenza cardiaca. Una parte del soggiorno è stata rialzata e completamente rivestita in parquet rovere, a fungere da palcoscenico per il pianoforte a coda, punto focale dell’intero living. A fare da quinta al pianoforte una parete in bianco assoluto su cui è stata posata una pittura decorativa che crea giochi di luci e ombre. Di grande impatto visivo e architettonico è stata la scelta delle luci: cerchi di diverso diametro laccati neri si stagliano a varie altezze diffondendo luce led a soffitto, armoniosamente, a ricordare la copertina dell’album con i suoi led pulsanti. Le mensole in lamiera laccata nera diffondono la luce a parete enfatizzando la trama materica della pittura. La cucina è minimale, essenziale, con l’innesto del tavolo che sembra fluttuare grazie al sostegno leggero ed elegante della gamba in vetro. Tutto è giocato sui toni del bianco e del nero a richiamo della tastiera del pianoforte e di quell’impulso creativo che, quando è talmente forte, non permette sfumature. “Might we suggest that… if the pulsing LED begins to drive you crazy, turn the box round so the LED faces to the wall or the back of your shelf” this is the readable suggestion within the Pulse album by Pink Floyd gives rise to the creative concept of this 65 square meter apartment located in Rome: a living and pulsating interior project that well reflects the soul of the owners, a musician and a doctor waiting for their first child. The renovation project has completely upset the living area of the apartment, preferring a large open space obtained by eliminating a long corridor between the kitchen and the living room, while the design proposal in the sleeping area leaves unchanged the two bedrooms and the bathroom. With the new planimetric distribution, right from the entrance, there is a creative emotion that refers to the sensations experienced in perceiving for the first time the heartbeat of the future child: in fact, the rows of artificial grass at various heights recall the display of the heart rate. A part of the living room has been raised and completely covered in oak parquet, to act as a stage for the grand piano, the focal point of the entire living area. Used like a backdrop to the piano there is an absolute white wall on which a decorative painting has been placed that creates a play of lights and shadows. Of great visual and architectural impact was the choice of lights: black lacquered circles of different diameters stand out at various heights spreading LED light on the ceiling, harmoniously, reminding the album cover with its LED buttons. The black lacquered metal shelves spread the light on the wall, emphasizing the material texture of the painting. The kitchen is minimal, essential, with the graft of the table that seems to float thanks to the light and elegant support of the glass leg. Everything is played on the tones of white and black, recalling the piano keyboard and the creative impulse that, when it is so strong, does not allow nuances.

We completed a luxury apartment in Primrose Hill. This is the second apartment within the same building to be designed by the practice, commissioned by a new client who viewed the initial scheme and immediately briefed the practice to conduct a similar high-end refurbishment. The brief was to fully maximise the potential of the 60-square metre, two-bedroom flat, improving usable space, and optimising natural light. 

We significantly reconfigured the apartment’s spatial lay-out – the relocated kitchen, now open-plan, is seamlessly integrated within the living area, while a window between the kitchen and the entrance hallway creates new visual connections and a more coherent sense of progression from one space to the next. The previously rather constrained single bedroom has been enlarged, with additional windows introducing much needed natural light. The reconfigured space also includes a new bathroom.

The apartment is finely detailed, with bespoke joinery and ingenious storage solutions such as a walk-in wardrobe in the master bedroom and a floating sideboard in the living room. Elsewhere, potential space has been imaginatively deployed – a former wall cabinet now accommodates the guest WC.

The choice of colour palette and materials is deliberately light in tone, further enhancing the apartment’s spatial volumes, while colourful furniture and accessories provide focus and variation. Photographer: Rory Gardiner

This image features the main reception room, designed to exude a sense of formal elegance while providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The room’s interior design is a testament to the intent of the company to blend classic elements with contemporary style. At the heart of the room is a traditional black marble fireplace, which anchors the space and adds a sense of grandeur. Flanking the fireplace are built-in shelving units painted in a soft grey, displaying a curated selection of decorative items and books that add a personal touch to the room. The shelves are also efficiently utilized with a discreetly integrated television, ensuring that functionality accompanies the room's aesthetics. Above, a dramatic modern chandelier with cascading white elements draws the eye upward to the detailed crown molding, highlighting the room’s high ceilings and the architectural beauty of the space. Luxurious white sofas offer ample seating, their clean lines and plush cushions inviting guests to relax. Accent armchairs with a bold geometric pattern introduce a dynamic contrast to the room, while a marble coffee table centers the seating area with its organic shape and material. The soft neutral color palette is enriched with textured throw pillows, and a large area rug in a light hue defines the seating area and adds a layer of warmth over the herringbone wood flooring. Draped curtains frame the window, softening the natural light that enhances the room’s airy feel. This reception room reflects the company’s design philosophy of creating spaces that are timeless and refined, yet functional and welcoming, showcasing a commitment to craftsmanship, detail, and harmonious design.

This is an example of a small scandinavian open concept living room in Gothenburg with white walls and medium hardwood floors.

Natural tones run throughout, with each room boasting its own palette. The living room looks to autumn for inspiration, with earthy colours, burgundy accents and pops of black that tie in with the window frames. The living room was tweaked to create a large seating area with a corner sofa and a separate reading area. We also designed a contemporary fireplace, with an easy-to-use bioethanol fire.
