The house strikes a balance between open plan living and answering the demands of modern family life, offering spaces that vary in openness, privacy, and scale. One of the wow factors comes from the triple-height atrium and forms a central, sculptural stair that connects the lower levels.


The design for the atrium on entering the house meant losing square footage in favour of visual impact. “Not your typical approach to designing a family space in London, but it felt crucial,” says Lily of the decision to sacifi ce sace o design he sense o light and space around you is at the heart of this building’s purpose. This can be appreciated throughout, whereby manipulated levels, extended glazing and generous voids prioritise visual impact.


“The site was a few minutes from where we


were living at the time of the build, and round the corner from the children’s school, which meant that I could pop in frequently (much to the builders’ delight). Consequently, I could monitor progress and really appreciate both the milestone moments and the daily attention to detail. The day I came in to see the staircase in all its glory was one to remember!” Lily describes the interior as a palette of quiet luxury. “I think the house is a true e ection o y design aesthetic and ou family’s lifestyle in London. I wanted the house to e a lace o cal eauty and efi neent but in a relatively casual way. You want to feel relaxed in a beautiful space, not overwhelmed with fussy details or overly stimulating colours.

throughout (apart from the movie room, where a plush merlot velvet sectional felt almost compulsory). The neutral and saturated colours acoss the ou  oos hel to ceate a sense o sophisticated calm and a consistent identity for the whole house. The strong architectural lines are softened with curved furniture and fabrics such as bouclé, velvet and linen to create a more ‘homely’ vibe.


“The house is fairly open plan but with hidden moments dotted all over,” Lily continues. his kees the lace light and  eile o example, a dressing room and a guest bed tucked behind mirrored doors, a gym and extensive storage hidden behind a timber wall in the movie room and the messy kitchen/pantry ehind  ush cainety doos in the ain kitchen dining space.


“The simple exterior of the front with


restrained windows provides a sense of modesty while the angular architecture of the exterior iics that o the inteio layout  oolans joinery and lighting. It was all conceived as one,” she adds. “The degree of those angles are repeated throughout and all the interior decisions and furnishings have been carefully curated to honour that. Where right degree angles and square walls would have been easier to construct, to utilise storage space and organise furniture, it would have been detrimental to the design intent of this building, so design and honour won over ease and speed!”
