This image of a recently completed house remodelling in Islington demonstrates our Client’s tastes for bold colour and pattern. Forming a close working relationship with the client resulted in the property being transformed and delightfully characterised by her personality, interests and lifestyle. Simple adjustments such as the removal of small doorways gives views between the main rooms, make a seamless transition between spaces throughout the ground floor. Replacement and new windows provide sunlight into the rooms at all times of the day. Similarly a new rooflight over the stair brings natural light into the core of the house. Re-locating the kitchen enabled the creation of a new tardis-like downstairs toilet and shower room with utility and coat cupboard. At first floor, the removal of a redundant chimney internally enlarged the bedrooms enabling bespoke storage in new joinery. #architecture #residentialarchitecture #interiordesign #architecturalrefurbishment #homerefurbishment #boldinteriors #designwithpersonality #modernhomedesign

Choosing the right flooring material is paramount for commercial spaces.

Architectural Archetypes by Invi Air - Continuums. Invi Air’s continuous linear diffusers are perfect for hugging any winding architectural design whether with straight-cornered lines or curved ones.

Matching the straight lines of a panoramic window, where the ceiling meets the walls and window frames, our frameless linear completes the overall design of this full-view living room.

“Clad windows don’t work in classically inspired architecture, they lack the detail and nuance to successfully translate the design language”. We hear that quite regularly from architects and while we agree in the broader sense, there are exceptions that prove the rule. Our bronze clad fenestration with traditionally inspired profiles is such an exception. The extruded bronze exterior with a luxurious patina finish is a classical aesthetic. A mahogany interior with your ideal stain finish blends to the interior palette. Solid brass handles of your choice and finish connect to concealed stainless steel multi-point locking hardware. Decorative solid brass slide stays provide functionality and control in conjunction with the brass butt hinges with ball tip finials. An ocean front legacy home benefits from bronze cladding. Bronze doesn’t rust. Period. Think about it.
