LUXURY INTERIORS
Internally , the huge 60ft central room is now framed by multiple ‘ opened ’ rooms , each with new views , through the columns , across the interiors and beyond across the park . The design also celebrates the terrace ’ s layers of history . Concrete columns created to remedy extensive WWII bomb damage have been revealed , cast and multiplied to dramatic effect . Spaces with distinctively different characters cleverly connect through new views , through staggered levels and grand double and triple height spaces .
Lipton Plant Architects commissioned bespoke , hand-crafted furniture for the scheme which delicately balances both Georgian and contemporary sensibilities . Along with reinstated period features such as new shutters and cornicing , more contemporary elements have been introduced such as the bronze handrail and gaboon timber walls and eye-catching blue linen lines the walls of the living space , providing visual warmth , elegance and opulence .
The view from each room and of each room is created to be both a backdrop and a dramatic setting , for the unfolding scenes of the occupant ’ s life .
By transforming the entire interior outlook of this expansive apartment , Lipton Plant Architects has staged a completely immersive experience of landscape and architecture .
