This is a classic, city-centre apartment, in which nothing has been altered: the reception rooms, bedroom, kitchen, mouldings, fireplaces and floors are all original. The inhabitants have chosen to tailor their activities to the volumes and echoes of the past, with furniture selected to chime with the original architecture. They have decided to create a paradoxical, warm and intimate environment in this office and reception space.
They have chosen the furniture in the same spirit as they would for their apartment. They appreciate the comfort and individuality of all the spaces, their liveability and the scope for self-expression through their objects.
Working within this sort of pleasing framework yet preserving the functional ethos of the office yet without prompting the same resonance.
