This Crystal Palace apartment was a really exciting project to work on. An Old Victorian Pub conversion that boasted many original features to be celebrated and opportunities to reintroduce others that had been lost over time.

A completely blank canvas to play around with, the concept was “Art Gallery”. Everything was to be white, punctuated by the owner’s collection of eclectic art and lighting. This allowed us to give appropriate focus to each piece.

The striking, glass staircase opened up to a double height void that felt empty with such high ceilings. We overcame this by introducing big industrial pendants, in bright colours, filling the space in a fun and stylish way.

We designed a full lighting scheme utilising brushed chrome downlights throughout for the general lighting, glass pendants over the kitchen bar and some discrete industrial wire pendants above the dining table. This created layers to the lighting, adding moods to each area whilst still speaking one creative language.

Key finishes were limited to brushed chrome and glass, to reinforce the stripped aesthetic of a gallery. Flooring throughout was light, engineered oak, softened with a few abstract patterned black and white rugs.

The furniture was mainly Danish in style, slim and discreet in grey tones. We contrasted this with some colourful accessories and statement pieces.
