Kährs wood flooring has been installed at Royal Arsenal Riverside’s exclusive ‘Building 23.’ Located on the banks of the River Thames, the stunning development occupies a 76-acre site and combines bold, modern architecture with Grade I and Grade II listed buildings, steeped in history. Kährs Oak Frost – a Swedish three-strip floor - was chosen to complement the interior design, whilst providing high performance and eco benefits. The installation was carried out by Loughton Contracts plc; its specialist residential division was chosen for its expertise in completing high-end projects to the required standards. Originally known as the Woolwich Warren, Royal Arsenal is among Britain’s most important historic sites. It played a central military and industrial role from the late seventeenth century to the early twentieth, and was used for the storage of military battle plans, for armaments manufacture, ammunition proofing and explosives research. Many original features remain, including arched sash windows which enhance the feeling of space and grandeur. Chosen to create a stylish, natural feel, Kährs Oak Frost is a rustic grained wood floor. Its white matt lacquer finish and brushed surface complement exposed brickwork, whilst contrasting with black steelwork.

The brief for this project involved completely re configuring the space inside this industrial warehouse style apartment in Chiswick to form a one bedroomed/ two bathroomed space with an office mezzanine level. The client wanted a look that had a clean lined contemporary feel, but with warmth, texture and industrial styling. The space features a colour palette of dark grey, white and neutral tones with a bespoke kitchen designed by us, and also a bespoke mural on the master bedroom wall.

By PMK+designers http://www.facebook.com/PmkDesigners http://fotologue.jp/pmk Designer: Kevin Yang Project Manager: Hsu Wen-Hung Project Name: Lai Residence Location: Kaohsiung City, Taiwan Photography by: Joey Liu This two-story penthouse apartment embodies many of PMK’s ideas about integration between space, architecture, urban living, and spirituality into everyday life. Designed for a young couple with a recent newborn daughter, this residence is centered on a common area on the lower floor that supports a wide range of activities, from cooking and dining, family entertainment and music, as well as coming together as a family by its visually seamless transitions from inside to outside to merge the house into its’ cityscape. The large two-story volume of the living area keeps the second floor connected containing a semi-private master bedroom, walk-in closet and master bath, plus a separate private study. The integrity of the home’s materials was also an important factor in the design—solid woods, concrete, and raw metal were selected because they stand up to day to day needs of a family’s use yet look even better with age. Brick wall surfaces are carefully placed for the display of art and objects, so that these elements are integrated into the architectural fabric of the space.

The master bedroom suite on the upper level was opened up to a large sleeping area and a study area beyond, both opening onto the atrium that floods the area with light. Daytime and night-time blackout shades are electronically operated to turn the whole area dark for sleeping. Featured in Houzz Idea Book: http://tinyurl.com/cd9pkrd
