This was a 2 1/2 year project of a large Kensington townhouse, including a grand architectural intervention of a large basement excavation and addition of a barrel vaulted space above. This lead to a light flooded lower ground floor and architecturally arresting structure of a double height space with a bookcase rising up within. It was a complete renovation, with every detail, large and small, designed and considered. And as home for a family with two young children it had to be both characterful and uniquely designed, and super practical, comfortable family home.
I am utterly smitten with this yellow tonal sitting room (Edward Bulmer’s ‘Lute’) that “offers a soft, sunny backdrop for layered textures and quiet contrast”. Designer Jessica Summer sure knows how to use colour in impactful ways but on the softer side, creating hints of drama and depth.
