My favorite private spaces exude a sense of peace + calm, like a deep exhale they transport you to a place of stillness. One such project we worked on, located in a re-purposed London Mews house, is for me the embodiment of this sort of sanctuary. The principal bedroom, and adjacent suite of rooms is exemplar, in it's understated language. Tucked under a mansard roof these quarters seem almost veiled; do in part to the wonderful quality of light and a monochromatic material selection.
In the bath lounge (above), a sky roof floods the room with filtered light, and large glass doors open onto a private terrace amongst the rooftops. The bathtub takes centre stage, while two chaise lounge afford conversation, the Sunday paper or an unscheduled nap. A perfect oasis before or after a hurried day in this energetic city. Furnished with custom designed case and soft pieces, Christian Liaigre lamps, tea tables by Ceccotti. I might just clear my agenda and stay in for the day.
