Rodić Davidson Architects were commissioned as Architect, Interior Designer and Project Manager to create a new four-storey residence, replacing the client’s former home on the same site in London.

The architecture balances context, craftsmanship, and innovation. The façade combines white-washed brick with movable perforated bronze-anodised aluminium panels, creating a dynamic play of light and privacy. Internally, the design progresses from darker, stone-clad lower levels to lighter, airy spaces above. Built to the highest specifications, the home integrates advanced tech... More

On encountering this sea facing Bombay apartment, what made an impression was the way in which the horizon lent itself to the interior spaces. Thus, our instinct was to encourage and emphasize this spatial quality, allowing the expanse of the sky to be the dominant experience throughout. In order to do so, whilst simultaneously designing for three generations, the design had to allow for multiple readings and adapt itself to a variety of usage patterns. Much like a tapestry that inspires a layered interaction, the design integrates a sumptuous material palette with carefully considered proportions and intricate detailing, in response to the complexity of the brief.

The project was about creating a dark shady space with diffused light on raw materials and being implemented exclusively by custom design. Scope was to blend the “mysterious orient” with the contemporary Athenian streetscape. The layout is organized as an alleylike space: the bar creates a linear axis to connect the two entrances. The interior is conceived as a quiet room with fine sand walls, glazed ceramic tiles and engraved surfaces of raw oak wood, blended with the original, repaired terrazzo flooring. We reworked with a few forgotten techniques and materials, – the steel hammered panels from Thrace, nothern Greece and the karagatsi wooden stools, a sturdy wood used in traditional shipping. All materials have been cra... More
