For this house in Highgate, NW London, we were asked to redesign two children’s bedrooms and a den which was also to function as a guest room. We designed bespoke furniture for all living areas, making sure the spaces were markedly different and yet suited to the young individuals that were to take up residence. In the son’s room, a bespoke wardrobe and desk unit, made from steel, melamine and warm oak creates a sporty mood that is further enhanced with ammonite, navy and deep burgundy colour palette. In the daughter’s bedroom, a custom-built white desk unit as well as a 3-door wardrobe with asymmetric brass handles and gold voile curtains set a bright, fresh tone. Meanwhile in the den, an L-shaped sofa executed in white washed, heavy grained plywood, which can be brought together to create a king-sized bed, is upholstered in a cotton/linen fabric- perfect for both after-school lounging and welcoming guests. The sink, hand-carved from marble, complete with natural edges and the Marrakech wall paint, adorns the downstairs bathroom. In addition to designing bespoke furniture, a variety of objects and accessories were sourced for the project.
