The rooms were peeled open as much as possible, with luscious built-in furniture blended into the existing walls using a light, minimal palette. The curved surfaces of the living room frame a gracious view of the Thames.  Image Courtesy © Alex Haw

To the right, the walls swell to form kitchen storage, and similarly crack open to present the main counter.

The dark alcove of the kitchen folds back and disappears, while the living room storage continues to tear open to reveal an anthracite feature wall that fades out into the horizon beyond.

The cross-mullion of the existing fullheight fenestration sets the height for a voluptuous sink counter which grows out from the entrance door and slides into a sensually plastered wall (rendered in light Moroccan Tadelkat) that enwraps the shower space, splitting open to form a momentary alcove.
