SHAFTON MEWS, LONDON (HACKNEY, E9)
The Client: A bachelor musician in his thirties.
The Brief: To transform two tired one-bedroom flats in to a warm, inviting new two-bedroom single dwelling
with a show-stopping kitchen/diner, formal entertaining space, two bathrooms and an office space.
I was commissioned directly by the client,
who had seen my work in other residential
properties. He had already commissioned an
architect to start the process of converting the
two flats in to a dingle house and brought me
onboard to manage the project and provide
creative direction in terms of style, fittings and
furnishings.
My approach to any project is to marry
a client’s brief with my own style, with
consideration for the style and features of the
property itself.
My style embraces deep, earthy colours and
lots of texture and the client similarly had
a preference for classic, muted colours. He
had recently purchased a couple of stand-out
paintings by California artist, Richard Thorbird,
so we used these as the basis for the colour
palette.
