This apartment was fitted out from a new build 200sq.m shell space
at fourth floor level on top of a converted church on Westbourne Grove.
The unit is planned as a totally open plan one bedroom space. The
bedroom has a large walk-in wardrobe area lined in stained oak panels,
mirror and glass as well as a travertine lined ensuite bathroom with a
separate wetroom in the original church turret.
There is also a separate area with a large oversized built in L
shaped sofa with projector and electronic screen. This area can also be
partitioned off by a 4 metre long sliding stained oak wall to form an
additional bedroom when needed. A bed slides out of one of the joinery
units.
Electronically controlled diffuser curtains give greater privacy at
night and due to the high degree of glazing, comfort cooling has been
installed throughout.
The base build ceiling heights were relatively low at 2.6m so
'floating ceiling rafts' and raised coffers with recessed lighting have
been designed specially to give a sense of greater volume and height as
well as hiding the structural beams and providing a sense of drama to
the space.
There is an integrated AV and lighting sy
stem throughout with ceiling mounted speakers to help create a seamless look.
“They're great - a young, fresh company. We bought an empty shell of an old church: they took our ideas on board and interpreted them. They are very accommodating. I changed my ideas quite a few times, and they were still smiling.”
