Nestled between vibrant Swiss Cottage and charming Hampstead, Belsize Park is known for its leafy streets and stucco-fronted villas. Within one such villa, this duplex apartment offered a beautiful foundation for a complete redesign inspired by our client’s international influences and love of modern-classical styling.
The property’s extraordinary high ceilings, ornate Victorian cornicing and generous windows provided a spectacular architectural backdrop. Treating the home as a blank canvas, we focused on clarity of planning and the considered allocation of space.
Reimagining the former reception room as a combined kitchen and dining area allowed us to introduce banquette seating within the bay window for a layout that supports daily use while maintaining the character of a lived-in room rather than a purely functional kitchen.
Rich textures, ambient lighting and a refined material palette enhance the interiors without competing with the original fabric of the building. The result is an elegant yet practical home devised for modern living, balancing period grandeur with contemporary soul.

“It is impossible not to get excited by the contrast of old and new.
This property demonstrated this in abundance with extraordinarily high ceilings, original period features and curved walls as the backdrop to our contemporary, streamlined design with strong lines, tactile surfaces and scale.
Scale and proportion flourished, allowing the us to sympathetically design in equal measures of skill and boldness.”
