Interior re-modelling of a 2-storey apartment on the Thames. The apartment sits near the finishing line of the Oxford / Cambridge boat race, at a bend in the river with an unobstructed view east and west.
The existing interior was stripped back to the structure to address acoustic issues between apartments. A new layout places the kitchen dining and living area parallel to the Thames. Views are extended through the interior to give a sense of the bigger whole and glimpses of the rooms beyond.
Narrow boards of solid English oak is used for both flooring and skirting. It is also continued across the base of all internal doors. The oak is taken diagonally up both walls of the stair to the sunroom above and also used for treads and risers. The board setting out on the left wall of the stair mirrors exactly the of the setting out on the right, creating a symmetrical design.
