Formerly two adjoining townhouses, this stunning mid-19th century property in West London has been completely restored by Originate Architects and GL Studio. Now a Victorian stucco-fronted villa of three storeys plus a basement, the original features were reinstated and married with contemporary elements to fulfil the needs of modern family.

The restoration process included the installation of new fireplaces and arched openings in keeping with the historical period. New joinery units were designed by Originate using a unique finish to enhance the natural grain of the timber, while a fairly neutral colour palette was chosen to complement the client’s extensive collection art and furniture collection. In particular, a love of mid-century design that can bee seen with the iconic Pierre Jeanneret chairs, a beautiful Jorge Zalszupin table, and the Carl Hansen & Søn's reissue of the Hans J Wegner CH22 lounge chair from 1950.

Such a refined and elegant home, the bedroom and living room above have a distinctly Nordic feel. The striking black and white artworks are by Dadamaino.
