Architecture firm Proctor & Shaw has completed the interior renovation of an apartment in London.
The renovation included re-configuring the inefficient existing one bedroom one bathroom layout, to incorporate two double bedrooms each with ensuite facilities, along with a generous open plan kitchen, dining, and living space.
Upon entering the apartment, it’s immediately apparent that a wood slat wall is the focal point of the interior.

The open plan layout of the living room, dining area, and kitchen, provides plenty of space for entertaining, while the bedrooms and bathrooms are hidden behind the full-height wood wall.
The main living space is anchored at each end with bespoke wall to wall furniture units in ultra-matt, clear sealed, dark grey through-coloured MDF, topped with black pitted bespoke concrete worktops.

The wall incorporates all storage and service requirements for the apartment, including kitchen appliances and hanging cupboards, resulting in a highly efficient plan.

Flush finished frameless doors and discreet machined handles are concealed in the timber profiles, and lead to the bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms.

Simply finished bedrooms feature flush faced built-in hanging cupboards, bespoke Douglas fir bedside cabinetry, and hidden lighting that creates a calm atmosphere.

The ensuite bathrooms have a seamless microcement finish, that’s featured on the walls, floor, ceiling, and cabinetry, while bespoke concrete vanity units have integrated sinks and brushed stainless steel fixtures.
