LEIVARS Interiors Studio
LEIVARS Interiors Studio have been shortlisted for the Living Space – UK Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.
LEIVARS Interiors Studio worked with the client, the CEO of an international luxury brand, for the third time with this project. The brief was to completely strip out and reconfigure the rooms to create a home office whilst maximising light and comfort. The client asked for subtle nods of elegance from the Art Deco era yet having undertones of femininity and drama.
LEIVARS Interiors Studio wanted to connect the living and dining space to create a striking statement fireplace and sight line towards the small rear patio, and so they designed a full length low level fire place and opted to have this made from beautiful marble with fluting detail. By keeping the fireplace low and long whilst working with vertical fluting details it gives this small property the feeling of height with real impact. By adding in a bio ethanol fire gave some warmth and interest in the colder months.
When working with expensive marble slabs which are unique and one of a kind, it was imperative for LEIVARS that they worked with trusted and highly skilled stone masons. Marble is fragile in nature, so the fluting detail was a painstaking job with each fluted section having to also be hand polished, the whole process took nearly nine weeks. The designers wanted to use a striking and impacting colour and selected the beautiful emerald velvet for both the sofa and banquette seating area. By keeping the colour scheme limited to just three colours and using obly brass as an accent, it allowed the home to flow seamlessly and not feel visually cluttered.
