Modern pied-à-terre, Paddington

This modern duplex was reimagined as a calm, comfortable pied-à-terre for a busy overseas family, realised within an expedited eight-week programme. Working with a close-knit network of trusted contractors and makers, we followed a rigorous design selection process that elevated every space with quiet confidence.

A restrained, neutral palette underpins the interior, amplifying natural light and reinforcing the apartment’s modern sensibility. Key interventions included a new kitchen, finely-crafted bedroom joinery, and the careful stripping back of the existing red-stained staircase to reveal its warm timber core - a subtle transformation that enriches the space. The scheme was completed with a considered furnishings plan across the bedrooms and living-kitchen spaces, complemented by tailored art advisory to provide a seamless, turnkey result.
