Most of the pieces are bespoke and many are made to Keir Townsend’s own designs. The international team comes from different cultural and creative backgrounds but what unites them is the drive to deliver aesthetic and inspiring spaces that bring joy into people’s lives.

Walls were knocked out to create one space for the kitchen/dining/ sitting room and make movement around the apartment as easy and comfortable as possible. Surfaces in a palette of neutral, monochrome, light tones in a variety of materials and textures create the illusion of space – polished plaster is a favourite as this material reflects light.  Image Courtesy © Keir Townsend ‘A common misconception is that the fewer pieces of furniture and features you have in a space – the bigger it looks’, says irina Townsend ‘In fact the more zones and features you have the more it creates different spaces within one room. It is all about the right size of furniture, the right fabrics and the right lighting.’ In this room every cm of space has been cleverly utilized so that it doesn’t appear cluttered. Splashes of colour have been introduced through the use of soft furnishings.

Splash backs are in antiqued bronze mirror glass with safety backing and polished edges. Dining table and chairs and chandelier are all bespoke and were commissioned by Keir Townsend. The flooring is wooden square tiles.

The basin itself is made from recycled glass and lit from beneath with warm LEDs to create a stunning effect. The taps are in crystal and the cabinets are all bespoke- Wall tiles are glass backed with silver and antique gold leaf. Emperador ceramic tiles were chosen for the walls and mosaic tiles in the shower. Floor tiles are ceramic, textured wood effect.

Every inch of space has been cleverly utilised to create maximum storage. Leather floor tiles add to the feeling of luxury.
