Verduyn Architecture
Verduyn Architecture have been shortlisted for City Space – London Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.
When the current owners bought the apartment, it had been used as a short term let for several years and completely lacked charm and character. They approached Verduyn Architecture to completely renovate the apartment. The brief was to make better use of the compact space as well as to pay tribute to the exquisite exterior Grade II Listed façade.
The work included substantially raising the ceiling which dramatically increased the sense of space. The old ceiling had also covered a portion of the windows and with the ceiling now lifted the skyline is exposed, letting in significantly more natural light. The window, which had previously been blocked up was reinstated, further enhancing the views and natural light.
The wall between the galley kitchen and living room was removed to create a large open plan living space in which a new deVOL shaker kitchen takes centre stage. The apartment was fully renovated including a new bathroom, new joinery and finishes throughout. The result is a mix of contemporary living and traditional style with attention to detail of utmost importance.
The design pays tribute to the Grade II listed facade of the building within which it is located by using a complementing colour scheme and introducing elements of traditional, classical styling. This nod to the traditional is evident in the choice of finishes from light fittings and brassware through to wallpaper and furniture.
