A Classical Interior in Westminster
Project
Information
THE PROPERTY
This flat sits inside a listed building in a conservation area. When the clients bought it, the interior had been fitted out in a very contemporary style. Their wish was to bring back a classical character that suited the building’s heritage.
THE CLIENT'S BRIEF
We wanted the home to feel calm, a quiet retreat from the city. We opened up the fragmented layout to bring in more natural light. We kept the structural work out of sight, so the period character comes first.
Challenges
- Contemporary Misfit in Listed Building
- Fragmented Internal Layout
- Concealing Structural Interventions
- Period-Authentic Detailing
Solutions
- Restoration of Classical Period Character
- Opened-Up Living Spaces to Maximize Natural Light
- Hidden Engineering Keeping Heritage Character First
- Bespoke Cornices, Mouldings, Dado Rails & Panelling
EFDW SOLUTION
We chose every element with care to suit the original style: the cornices, mouldings, dado rails, ceiling roses, wallpaper and furniture. Wall panelling, striped wallpaper, crystal chandeliers and antique pieces come together in a timeless interior that feels true to the building.
