The open plan lower floor is the hearth of the house, and it’s a space perfect for entertaining as well as everyday family life. Having everything that one could ask for, it boosts a large kitchen with a full height appliance wall, masculine finishes paired with quirky colour scheme, a conversation area, and more secluded reading corner. The biggest splendour however is the full height, a walk-in wine cellar, backlit and flooded with white light. If that’s not enough, the whole space opens up to a stunning view over the incredible London skyline thanks to its six-panel sliding door system. for the space from early on. They didn’t shy away from using strong colours and patterns and wanted a playful mixture of different styles that isn’t trying to be everyone’s cup of tea but is reflecting their personal taste. Temza used rich, dark veneers, bold, masculine textures like the polished concrete floor meeting exposed brick accented with punches of strong colour. The sculptural pieces of furniture that occupy the space bring layers of personality to the industrial surroundings that could otherwise easily feel cold and generic. To retain a feeling of openness within the living area, Temza has designed a floating staircase to sit against the exposed brick wall and a glass mezzanine to look over the open space. This provides a sense of space that’s rare in London properties. Upstairs is a master bedroom with its own en-suite, a spacious dressing room, a second bedroom, and family bathroom. The Temza team is proud to be involved in the transformation of this charming, unique, urban duplex, helping to turn it into a vibrant, modern home, that feels and looks like a product of modern art itself. www.temza.co.uk [email protected] 23 Sussex Street, London, SW1V 4RR +44 207 932 0307 www.temza.co.uk www.refurbandrestore.co.uk - 43
