Completed in 2023, this 558-square-foot ground floor apartment was transformed into a quiet retreat overlooking Battersea Park, London. A completely new interior breathed life into this previously bland space, with a focus on adding natural light and flow to the layout of its rooms.
Soft, neutral furnishings are complemented by a refined color palette of natural oak, travertine, clay plaster and stainless steel. Oak wall molding features natural direction and creates flow highlighting doorframes and guiding visitors through each room. Built-in storage and appliances provide functional spaces to support the visual appeal.
At the end of the primary corridor punctuates a striking brushed stainless steel wall, breaking the flow of wood and drawing attention to the depth of the hallway. Behind this door cleverly hides a red travertine bathroom. This bathroom, though minimalist, speaks for itself in both functionality and show. Stainless steel trim stands out against the red earthy tone of the space, creating visual direction and distinction. Matching hardware ties everything together and creates an equally visual and functional masterpiece.
Linked by the corridor are three bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms of their own. Clay plaster walls and cement floors are complemented by more travertine details that extend the theme of consistency and minimalism.
In the living room stands a fireplace carved from a single block of titanium travertine across from a quaint sitting area, the room framed by bay windows that provide dreamy natural light. The space is made ideal for quiet meditation and attunement with the self and nature. Then, the same titanium travertine continues through the space to connect the dining and kitchen area in the form of a contemporary archway—another nod to simple harmony and organic design.
This modern luxury apartment proves that designer living can be accomplished even through minimalism. With the proper attention to detail and consistency, sophistication can be found in the use of even the most basic color palettes of natural materials.
