A Study in Modern Elegance
First floor of a Grade II Listed Building, Cadogan Square Residence features original Queen Anne architecture including a stunning oriel window; red brick characteristic of the Pont Street Dutch Style and beautiful high ceilings. Key to the client was to create a modern space that was both warm and inviting whilst, allowing beauty of its original architecture to sing.
The result is a seamless space utilising series of bespoke joinery that blended with the building fabric, so that the original space can speak for itself. Cornicing and plasterwork and decorative ceiling roses was restored to tie in with the original windows.
The palette was natural, warm and calm enhanced with subtle textures, tactile moments and peeks of colour. Wide plank herringbone engineered oak flooring ties each room together.
In the kitchen, a rich marble backsplash is placed against dark walnut cabinetry. The dynamic grain of the stone provides a strip of textural interest amid sleek walnut cabinetry.
In the bedroom, reeded oak panels is placed against a soft sumptuous carpet. A vintage Murano glass chandelier provides a touch of glamour.
In the living room, a yellow armchair enlivens this neutral space providing a happy spark of joy. Floor to ceiling wool curtains provide understated luxury. Artwork is shown to advantage on a white gallery style wall.
In the master ensuite, fluted micro cement walls offer contrast to sleek contemporary fittings and large scale marble tiles.
The sum of its parts is a home of understated elegance.
