84 STYLE MODERNE 1920S ARTS DECO IN SOUTH KENSINGTON Brought on to complete both the interior architecture and design of a Grade II listed home, located just moments away from the Royal Albert Hall, Hill House Interiors based their design scheme on the key period features of the historical building. Completely redesigning the internal layout, moving the staircase to create a more harmonious flow within the home, the design team sympathetically restored the classical cornicing, panelling and mouldings, along with intricate details throughout. On entering this palatial 6 bedroom home, the ‘wow’ factor is unmistakable. The extensive hallway features custom polished stone flooring inlayed with nero marquina black marble and bronze metal.
