Located on the second floor of a Georgian building, this apartment had suffered from a careless renovation, losing its original proportions. Poorly placed partitions and disproportionate corridors fragmented the space and blocked out the light. Nicola Chan's design restores the original volumes by eliminating unnecessary circulation, while allowing the large sash windows to bathe the interior in light.
The living areas at the front of the house have been combined and opened up to form one large room, bathed in sunlight. The three 3-meter-high windows offer a breathtaking view of the garden trees, amplifying the feeling of space and fluidity.
The kitchen, installed along one wall, frees up the rest of the space, offering great flexibility for entertaining, working or relaxing, while maintaining fluid circulation in the room.
Herringbone oak parquet underlines the room’s elegance, while the kitchen is discreet: white modules with no visible handles structure the space without weighing it down.
Up close, the modules reveal delicate pink nuances: an illusion that helps to modify the perceived quality of light, making it warmer and softer.
In the living room, the furniture blends old and new: an Ercol bench and Thonet chairs interact with a contemporary Valchromat table, creating an elegant balance between tradition and design.
Tailor-made to suit the three happy owners…
It’s impossible to eliminate the corridor separating the living room from the master bedroom, wedged between the stairwell and the load-bearing wall. It nevertheless plays a useful role, isolating the night zone from the living area and ensuring privacy and comfort.
A large sash window lets plenty of light into this first bedroom. The sobriety of the furnishings highlights the real star of the room: the impressive ceiling height.
This room benefits from numerous built-in cupboards in the wall recesses.
Nicola Chan redesigned the volumes at the rear of the apartment to create two generously proportioned bedrooms, framing a compact shower room accessible from each of them.
This ensuite shower room features light colors to compensate for the lack of natural light.
The second bedroom is also separated from the living room by a long corridor, punctuated by a linear array of cupboards. The tiles in the shower room continue onto the floor of the corridor, which serves as both a functional circulation space and an entrance.
This room feels smaller, an impression accentuated by a slightly darker color palette that lends the space a more intimate atmosphere.
In addition to its luminosity, the apartment enjoys privileged views to the front and rear, where the communal gardens provide a verdant backdrop.
