Elicyon has unveiled its latest design project within a capacious 7th storey full floor plate lateral apartment at one of Knightsbridge ’ s prime addresses . The home at One Hyde Park spans 8,000 sq ft and represents some of the studio ’ s most impressive work to date .

ELICYON REVEALS OUTSTANDING MONOCHROME APARTMENT IN ONE HYDE PARK WITH VIVID COLOUR POPS , UNUSUAL TEXTURES AND OVER £ 1MILLION OF MODERN ART

Overseen by Elicyon ’ s Founder , Charu Gandhi , the design brief responds to their client ’ s desire for an art-filled apartment in the heart of London and features a monochrome palette interspersed with vivid colour accents and layers of heavily textured fabrics and materials .
All original base build features throughout the space have been retained but stripped back and bleached , to turn the former yellow oak into a cooling light blond timber reminiscent of the pared-back whitewashed style now synonymous with en vogue summer destinations including Ibiza and Mykonos .
The first step into the apartment is into the striking hallway whose main feature is a matrix of laser-cut black and white marble floor panels that slot together to form a distinct focal point . The 16 layers of liquid plaster that have been used to cover the ceiling gently reflect this geometric floor and sit above a striking bespoke peacock blue and white lacquer table adorned by banquette style benches either side . The walls are of a suede plaster and hung with vivid , colour-soaked art by British artist Peter Kinley .
