The internal refurbishment of 1920s three bedroom apartment
This extensive internal refurbishment of an existing three bedroom apartment within a 1920s block formed new linings and insertions to create a new seamless environment.
Working with contractor A Price Limited and specialist cabinet-maker Lars Wagner, the architect created a collection of insertions and new additions - a series of oak joinery elements provide the function of both storage and display. Coloured and timber openings puncture the cabinets forming apertures for sculptures and art works.
A new oak floor was laid throughout uniting the spaces and seamlessly joining the linear entrance hall with the dining and reception room. A bookshelf-wall lines the entrance hall and expresses the central axis of the plan. The bookshelf’s depth is extruded to create deep door openings into a series of rooms, and within these, new wardrobes and cupboards to provide additional storage space within the bedroom and study.
