AN EMPHASIS ON OVERLAPPING
GRIDS AND MODULES, RIGOROUS
ALIGNMENTS AND PRECISELY CRAFTED
BESPOKE FINISHES CHARACTERISE
BOTH THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE
RESIDENTIAL INTERIORS.
MSMR’s design approach for the interiors used contrasting
colours and textures to complement RSHP’s concept for the
façade which juxtaposes handmade brick with light aluminium
frames and etched glass. The kitchens are bespoke adaptations
of Bulthaup’s B3 system, with smooth natural aluminium
contrasting with dark-stained, cross-cut oak finishes to create a
visual and textural richness.
The light-stained oak flooring is arranged in a precise grid pattern,
relating to the structural grid of the building. This grid pattern
flows through into the marble flooring of the bathrooms and
forms the backdrop for travertine feature walls and large vanity
benches, which are enclosed within a timber portal referencing
the grids and framing devices employed by RSHP in the façade
of the building. Elsewhere in the apartment, textured metal
finishes echo the textured lining applied to the common areas
of the scheme and the spa and fitness suite in the basement.
MSMR have worked closely with the developer Native Land on
a number of residential scheme’s across the capital including,
Cheyne Terrace, Holland Park Villas and NEO Bankside.
