The design brief for Victoria Vogel was to renovate the bathrooms and kitchen of a late 19th century apartment located in Cadogan Gardens, London. Built by Lord Chelsea, these Victorian buildings with their red bricked facades, have beautiful architectural features, from their high ceilings, wide staircases and intricate mouldings details. The client wanted modern bathrooms and kitchen to juxtapose against the classic features.

Victoria Vogel separated the space by adding a stud wall and creating a shower room rather than keeping it open plan as this is the only guest bathroom for the apartment. The designers dropped the ceiling slightly to make the proportions more in line with the narrow room, and then created a bold theme to keep the small space interesting.

Victoria Vogel created a black and white theme using Thassos marble subway tiles in the shower, Nero Antico on the vanity unit, architrave and sink. The designers also used odette black and white tiles from West One Bathrooms for the floors and bronze fixtures from Waterworks to tie the space together. Stone Interiors were responsible for creating the architrave, vanity unit and sink all in marble and the custom joinery was made by Rixon and Gower.

Cadogan Gardens is a very high end address and Victoria believes that the design of the bathroom, and the rest of the apartment, reflects this. It is a timeless design but also keeping up with the current trends.
