We are glad to present you our new project – a duplex apartment in East London overlooking the Thames. The owners of the apartment are a young married couple who have long dreamed of buying a similar apartment and finally their dream came true. The building was built in 1930 and previously served as a warehouse, later it was converted into a residential building, where you could buy a loft-style apartment. The building itself is well located, the main living space has large black metal-framed windows that could not be restyled and offer fantastic river views that can also be appreciated from the small balcony.

The owners asked to make an elegant interior, in soothing colors, which at the same time would have individuality and style. It was important to provide a lot of storage, as well as pay attention to soundproofing and acoustics in this large open space. It was important for them that the apartment was in the spirit of a modern city, but at the same time it would be comfortable and cozy to live in it. In the kitchen, the cooking area is separated from the dining area by a kitchen island. The kitchen island is made to order with marble and MDF countertops built into the structure of the island, creating a stylish and functional cooking space. Since the owners do not like clutter, the kitchen is equipped with a large number of cabinets and drawers, all appliances are built into the kitchen, which is very convenient and creates a space for resting the eyes. Black and white porcelain tiles with a vibrant pattern add drama to the kitchen and pair well with bar stools and lamps. Tracking lightning can be moved in any convenient direction around the perimeter of the kitchen. All drawers are handleless, equipped with push to open opening system and Blum self-closing door mechanism. Floor tiles with a lapatted surface will allow clients to move freely around the kitchen space without fear of slipping, even if water was accidentally spilled on the floor.

The centerpiece of the kitchen is the kitchen island, where it is convenient to cook and also have breakfast, a sophisticated and eye-catching lamp from Vibia with fresh flowers above it gives a sense of wellbeing and harmony. The brightness of the light is adjusted depending on the time of day and needs, thanks to the built-in dimmer. There are 4 levels of lighting in the kitchen, 2 types of functional ones: built-in ceiling lights and functional lights in the track rail. There are pendant lights above the kitchen island – decorative lighting and LED lighting of the kitchen drawers of the 4th level, the hanging drawers in a contrasting jet black color blend well with the rest of the kitchen fronts, the color of the hanging drawers creates a feeling of coolness and draws attention to the central part of the kitchen and harmonizes with others materials: greyish velvet upholstery of kitchen bar stools, black glass hanging drawers, kitchen island stone and lacquered facades.

Living room Area

The living area is more private, the Minotti sofa is placed along the contour of the window, so that it is convenient to watch a movie on TV and nothing blocks the magnificent view outside the window. As the owners requested that the room be kept light and airy, while also liking dark wood, accents were added in the form of plinths and dark oak consoles. There are several levels of lighting in the living room: functional tracking lamps for lighting the sofa group, they are easy to move along the rail built into the ceiling, the direction is adjustable in any direction, and the power is controlled by a dimmer. There is also a stylish table lamp, and additional comfort is created by LED lighting of the TV zone. The owners asked not to put additional walls in the room, so all the zoning was done by the furniture. The shelving with brass supports is custom-made from Rimadesio panels, the walls were also sheathed with wood paneling from this brand. Wooden blinds were chosen as the design of the window openings, they are stylish, practical, made of natural wood, allow to create privacy and close from prying eyes with one hand movement, and when open, nothing prevents from admiring the magnificent view of the river outside the window. The sofa group is decorated with dark blue velveteen, this color attracts the eye and also creates an association with the sea so beloved by customers. The carpet harmoniously complements the color scheme of the living room, and the sofa cushions create accent spots in the composition of the sofa group.

Bedroom

The master bedroom is quite spacious and even has a place to work. Ask customers not to put a TV in the bedroom, but to make a cozy place for reading books and relaxing, as well as a spacious wardrobe. Minnoti's bed with a comfortable headboard did not leave anyone indifferent; it will be possible to comfortably read a book while lying in bed. The color scheme is sustained in the same way as in the living room, gray-blue shades. A soft couch with a small classic element in the form of a carriage tie will be a great place to read books and reboot after a long day at work.
