The owners wanted an additional bedroom. The apartment’s two-level layout made this possible: the double-height living room had unbalanced proportions, with excessive height relative to its small floor area. We extended the upper floor, allowing us to create a principal suite beneath the roof. These extensive works required both co-ownership approval and planning consent, as we were creating additional habitable floor area. The aim was also to make the living room a pleasant space to spend time in. Another challenge was to open up the study beside the kitchen to create a generous dining area while retaining a workspace for the owner, a screenwriter and film editor. We designed bespoke joinery to provide practical, harmonious storage, making some large units feel light and others almost invisible.
Upstairs, the new principal bedroom is relatively compact. A headboard defines an open dressing area, with storage niches to lighten the composition. The finishes felt like a natural choice: satin-white lacquer, touches of solid oak in the floor and niches, and wardrobe fronts and sliding doors with diagonally laid oak veneer for added character.
