Designing A Knightsbridge Apartment For Modern Family Living

Amidst the storied elegance of London’s architectural heritage, this mansion block in Knightsbridge boasts a prominent 1930s building that has been recently restructured and refurbished to accommodate modern living. Our focus of this project was a 4 bedroom, 5th floor apartment, which underwent a complete transformation in order to become a contemporary family home with a design that was at its heart, timeless.

Resolute in their vision, our client tasked us with creating a home that was both sleek and modern and also practical and hardwearing. With meticulous attention to detail, easy to maintain surfaces and finishes were curated for durability, ensuring their longevity. A complete redesign was required to ensure that the client’s brief was met and exceeded, with space and natural light a priority.

Modernising Art Deco Heritage

Honouring the art deco roots of a building while introducing cutting-edge comfort presents a challenge; a formidable one at that. Yet, this was the task undertaken by our studio design team that would ultimately transform a family’s living space into a luxurious retreat that combines the best of both worlds.

Within this Knightsbridge apartment ‘s confines, our team successfully paid homage to the building’s art deco root while simultaneously introducing modern, luxurious finishes and couture craftsmanship. This was done by using bold outlines and a gentlemanly palette of colours that would also appeal to the client’s expanding family. The result is a space that feels both timeless and contemporary, with a sense of comfort and luxury that pervades every corner.

Balancing Luxury And Functionality

Adorned with sumptuous textures and illuminated by a soft, embracing glow, the living room features a comfortable and stylish sofa, set against a backdrop of richly textured walls while the fireplace adds warmth and intimacy. Form marries function in the kitchen thanks to our team’s incorporation of hidden storage solutions to ensure that the kitchen remains clutter-free. Sleek finishes and state-of-the-art appliances usher in a touch of modern sophistication.

Offering ample space and comfort, each of the four bedrooms of this Knightsbridge apartment, with bespoke wardrobes and storage solutions, ensure everything has its place. The bedrooms are designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. The master bedroom, featuring a plush king-size bed, a luxurious seating area perfectly encapsulates the way in which the apartment was designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. The room’s elegant furnishings and soft lighting create a serene and relaxing atmosphere, ideal for unwinding after a long day.

The bathrooms, beckoning with indulgent finishes and fixtures that create a spa-like atmosphere, are equally luxurious. The team incorporated features such as underfloor heating, bespoke cabinetry, and natural stone surfaces to create a sense of indulgence and relaxation.

Navigating Client Preferences

The client’s discerning preferences served as both challenge and inspiration, guiding the integration of bespoke elements and meticulous detailing into the design narrative. From the prohibition of sharp edges to the mandate for ample hidden storage, every aspect of the apartment’s design was meticulously tailored to reflect the client’s vision of refined living.

Drawing inspiration from London’s grand public establishments and private clubs, the design ethos marries the allure of boutique hotels with a personal touch, infusing the space with an air of understated grandeur and sophistication. The open-plan living area emerges as the epicentre of familial conviviality, seamlessly intertwining kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces into a tapestry of shared experiences.

This project exemplifies the art of designing a luxury modern family Knightsbridge apartment. By seamlessly blending art deco heritage with contemporary luxury, our studio team transformed the apartment into a contemporary family home with a design that is at its heart, timeless.
