ABOUT

There’s a particular beauty in homes built by our ancestors. Their craft and local materials feel right, give a sense of belonging. They age gracefully and show beauty of everyday life. Nowadays residential developments often lack that spirit. They are generic, often made with fashionable and poor quality materials that have high impact on our wellbeing as well as the planet.

Of course we can’t all afford to turn our homes into shrines of sustainability and craft. But the idea of creating an oasis in our homes is one we can all strive for. Even if it’s just a bathroom.

This project is a personal renovation of two bedroom apartment in a mid 19th century terraced house in London. It features shower room which highlights that it is possible to create a sophisticated, well-designed space using ethical and sustainable products.

The original dark and unergonomic space has been remodeled and generous roof light added filling the space with natural light. All fixtures selected are designed to stand the test of time using manufacturing techniques and authentic raw materials to produce lasting reliability and beauty.

By choosing the natural materials I wanted to enhance an emotional and physical wellbeing of the inhabitants.
The ambience created resembles that of Moroccan baths that continue to be built by local craftsmen to this day. Materials are all about tactility, simplicity and timelessness and mineral, earthy colours bring harmony and the feeling of belonging to the space.

Choosing those products was very important to highlight that well designed, beautiful interiors can be green. I’ve always felt best surrounded by earth born materials and my aim was to bring that feeling home.
