SBID Awards 2024 Announcement

We’ve got some exciting news to share! We are thrilled to announce that a curated Hampstead home we had the pleasure to work on has been selected as a finalist in the SBID Awards 2024 in the Residential House Over £1, 000, 000 category. That’s call for a virtual round of applause, we think!

Inspired by the clients’ burgeoning contemporary art collection, this luxury Hampstead home integrates curated art pieces that harmonise with the overall design aesthetic, reflecting the family’s evolving tastes. Embracing minimalist living, the design emphasises clean lines, uncluttered spaces, and a restrained colour palette to maximise functionality and aesthetic appeal. Evolving from their previous home, the design introduces new elements tailored to accommodate the family’s changing lifestyle enhancing circulation and connectivity between areas. Architectural features and luxurious materials underscore the property’s role as both foundation and inspiration for the family’s journey, supporting intimate gatherings and social events alike. Through open communication and collaboration, the design embodies the family’s vision, intertwining physical, emotional, and aspirational elements to craft a compelling living environment.

The design of this luxury Hampstead home emphasises simplicity, elegance, and minimalist tranquility through a pared-back colour palette that allows key design features and art pieces to stand out. The subdued colour scheme exudes sophistication, creating a canvas for art to take centre stage and enhance the overall ambiance. Visual impact is achieved by balancing seen and unseen elements, with hidden utility spaces and clever storage solutions that maintain aesthetic integrity while ensuring functionality. Each space is curated around a distinct art piece, creating dynamic atmospheres that evoke different emotions and draw attention from various angles.

Our design prioritised functionality by reimagining spaces to meet the evolving needs of a young family, which grew from two professionals to include two children by the project’s end. Thoughtful ergonomics, efficient layouts, and integrated storage solutions enhanced usability and practicality without sacrificing aesthetics. The lounge features a TV piece that doubles as an art installation, concealing AV equipment. Reducing the kitchen’s entry points optimised flow and comfort, while bespoke elements like a coffee drawer and kitchenette streamline routines. The principal bedroom storage, like the kitchen, was designed with a cantilevered concept for added convenience and style.

We exceeded the client’s goals by delivering a design that surpassed expectations, thoughtfully addressing their growing family and desire for a healthy, minimalist lifestyle. Key features like the gym and transformed cinema room resonated with their vision, and our collaborative approach ensured a smooth process with high client satisfaction. Through continuous refinement based on their input, we turned a bland cinema room into an audiophile’s dream. Attention to detail and rigorous quality control showcased our craftsmanship throughout the design of this luxury Hampstead home, from bespoke furniture to custom lighting. Close collaboration with artisans ensured precision and a flawless finish, with careful selection of materials and seamless integration of design elements contributing to the home’s timeless elegance, all while adhering to the client’s timeline.

And Here We Are! Drumroll, please – we are beyond thrilled to have been selected as a finalist for the prestigious SBID Awards! So, what’s next?

The harmony between form and function, as well as the interplay of simplicity and sophistication, were crucial elements of this project.
