126 St John Street I Clerkenwell London

A traditional Georgian building in London’s historic Clerkenwell transformed into a three-storey modern apartment. The roof of the original building was removed and a third floor and terrace were added without losing the building’s original structure and character. We used monochromatic shades from the Farrow and Ball palette, earthy wooden floors and crisp white mosaic tiles and combined them with more vibrant and fresh styling such as a Margo Selby rug and Josef Alber’s colour-blocked nesting tables re-issued by Vitra. The intention was to offer elements of escapism and meditation, essentials when choosing to live in such a frenetic and busy part of London.
