When the current owners bought the apartment, it had been used as a short term let for several years and lacked charm and character. They approached Verduyn Architecture to renovate the apartment. The brief was to make better use of the compact space as well as to pay tribute to the exquisite exterior Grade II Listed façade of which it forms part. 

Work included substantially raising the ceiling which dramatically increased the sense of space. The old ceiling had also covered a portion of the windows and with the ceiling now lifted the skyline is exposed, letting in significantly more natural light. A window, which had previously been blocked up was reinstated, further enhancing the views and natural light.

The wall between the galley kitchen and living room was removed to create a large open plan living space in which a new DeVol shaker kitchen takes centre stage. The apartment was fully renovated including a new bathroom, new joinery and finishes throughout. The result is a mix of contemporary living and traditional style with attention to detail of utmost importance.
