Queen's Gate, South Kensington

The client lives abroad but visits London on a regular basis. Her favourite hotels in London are Bulgari and Baglioni and her brief was for Keir Townsend to create a pied-a-terre, that combines both the luxury of 5 star hotels and the comfort of home-from-home experience.

The original layout of the flat had an uncomfortably narrow galley kitchen that compromised the bathroom space cutting it in half and the flat also lacked storage space. The layout was changed to create a functional bathroom and an open plan kitchen as an integral part of the living room. A wardrobe for coats in the entrance hall and clever additional storage space in the main bedroom and the study was added.

“Art Object” wall lights have been introduced throughout the project which improve the lighting overall and create different moods for different occasions.

A number of decorative features have been introduced into the concept, many of which were inspired by nature, using organic patterns and natural materials.
Project Cost: GBP 500,001 - GBP 750,000
Country: United Kingdom

The jewel in the crown of this small cloakroom space is the recycled glass basin. It is lit from within by LED’s that emphasize the luminous qualities of the material. Sheer fabric was laminated in sheets of glass for the walk in shower door. Taps are in chrome and leather.

The study has been designed to create maximum storage; under and on either side of the fitted sofa that also doubles as a guest bed.
