Raven & Lack were appointed to the Interior and FF&E Design for a 650 sq./ft. residential show apartment in The Westwood House of the popular Chelsea Creek Development. One of London’s most elegant waterside developments combining luxurious city living with European-style waterways, tree lined avenues and landscaped parkland, all a stone’s throw from the stylish King’s Road and fashionable Chelsea Harbour.

Raven & Lack worked closely with the developer’s executive team to uplift the base build of the apartment to an exceptional level of finish, with a unique narrative developed specifically for the project, taking inspiration from Amsterdam and Copenhagen designs. The client brief requested that the interior architecture and FF&E design strongly reflect the narrative of place and ensured cohesion in the detailing and palette throughout.

The design inspiration merges utopian principals from the famous Dutch design movement ‘De Stijl’ in a contemporary, architectural setting. European inspired furniture with a focus on natural form and colour, with Mondrian inspired ratios. Textures and hand-crafted finishes (by the best of British) bring an artisanal layer of luxury and individuality. Natural timbers, brushed metals, specialist resins and gilded plasters. All accentuated with hand-woven fabrics drawing inspiration from fashion materiality.

Architectural panelling details were added throughout the Living & Dining areas as an uplift to the base build, providing an elegant and timeless backdrop whilst enhancing the proportions of the space. Living spaces are broken up with “cerebral barriers” such as the shelving to the rear of the sofa, giving differentiation of mind set within the living zones. Lounging areas extend seamlessly onto the terrace, where the same level of dressing and attention has been delivered to the landscaped outdoor zone.

Raven & Lack’s focus on relaxed elegant luxury, simple beautiful detailing, in high quality materials, has been executed exceptionally well. The design narrative ensured the Icon Westwood Apartment had a sense of style and substance and above all delivers on quality for longevity.
