Notting Hill is one of the most charming and stylish districts in London. This apartment is situated at Hereford Road, on a 19th century building, where Guglielmo Marconi (the pioneer of wireless communication) lived for a year; now the home of my clients, a french couple. The owners desire was to celebrate the building's past while also reflecting their own french aesthetic, so we recreated victorian moldings, cornices and rosettes. We also found an iron fireplace, inspired by the 19th century era, which we placed in the living room, to bring that cozy feeling without loosing the minimalistic vibe. We installed customized cement tiles in the bathroom and the Burlington London sanitaires, combining both french and british aesthetic. We decided to mix the traditional style with modern white bespoke furniture. All the apartment is in bright colors, with the exception of a few details, such as the fireplace and the kitchen splash back: bold accents to compose together with the neutral colors of the space. We have found the best layout for this small space by creating light transition between the pieces. First axis runs from the entrance door to the kitchen window, while the second leads from the window in the living area to the window in the bedroom. Thanks to this alignment, the spatial arrangement is much brighter and vaster, while natural light comes to every room in the apartment at any time of the day. Ola Jachymiak Studio

Parce que si vous me connaissez, vous savez que je fais des niches dans toutes mes salles de bain lorsque c'est possible ! Gain de place et pratique !

This 1903 home is full of character and traditional elements like detailed paneling, crown molding and hardware. The clients’ master bathroom did not share this charm and after a plumbing leak in the shower, it was time to make an update. We designed the bathroom to mimic the traditional style of the rest of the home and create a cohesive feel. Wood paneling on the walls was matched to paneling in the stairwell, old style cement tiles, subway tile and antique style fixtures were selected to enhance the feeling that the bathroom had been there since 1903. A walk-in closet room was also created, and finished out by California Closets. The master suite is now a traditional, modern day beauty. Designed by Natalie Hanson.

Ce projet de rénovation est sans doute un des plus beaux exemples prouvant qu’on peut allier fonctionnalité, simplicité et esthétisme. On appréciera la douce atmosphère de l’appartement grâce aux tons pastels qu’on retrouve dans la majorité des pièces. Notre coup de cœur : cette cuisine, d’un bleu élégant et original, nichée derrière une jolie verrière blanche.
