Shape London and Black & Milk have masterfully united luxury and comfort in their latest project, the Fitzroy. This innovative design transforms a family space by blending cosy interiors with modern aesthetics, achieving a perfect balance between opulence and industrial edge while catering to the storage, relaxation, and entertainment needs of a young family.

The Fitzroy project stands out for its harmonious integration of natural elements with modern design, particularly in the bespoke kitchen, which embodies both Japandi influences and unique modern touches through various materials and finishes. This kitchen serves as a central hub where the family can gather, cook, and entertain, surrounded by carefully chosen elements that exude luxury and reflect the tranquillity of the outdoor garden.

Shape London and Black & Milk excel in their thoughtful consideration of space, storage, light, and materials, creating a functional yet aesthetically pleasing environment. Natural light plays a pivotal role in the basement’s design, where the interplay of light and shadow accentuates the contrast of materials, bringing to life the rich textures of stained oak. Additionally, suede fabric-panelled partitions add depth and character to the space.

The kitchen, which spans the entire width of the building, offers a full view from the front to the back of the property, framing the garden beyond. This design not only maximizes space but also ensures a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, enhancing the overall family environment.

One of the standout features of the project is the thoughtful integration of bamboo-inspired cabinet handles, symbolising the commitment to bringing the outdoors inside. This detail epitomizes the serene yet functional family environment that Shape London and Black & Milk aimed to create.
