The challenge
Provide a refresh to an existing, largely untouched interior to an apartment in the ‘Savoy’, designed by Claud Hamilton and completed in 1919. The existing apartment had limited storage, an ageing bathroom and kitchen and no internal laundry.
The solution
The works included a new kitchen, bathroom and robe joinery, which were designed to sympathetically insert into the existing building fabric without detrimentally affecting the existing detailing or finishes. Original glazed tiles were retained in the kitchen as a nod to the buildings heritage, contrasting with the modern joinery insertions.
The bathroom was re-imagined as a single bathing wet-room, with no shower screen to impede on the space. A bespoke shaving cabinet provides much needed storage and ambient-lighting to the room.
