After extensive residential re-developments in the surrounding area, the property had become landlocked inside a courtyard, difficult to access and in need of a full refurbishment. Limited access through a gated entrance made it difficult for large vehicles to enter the site and the close proximity of neighbours made it important to limit disruption where possible. Complex negotiations were required to gain a right of way for access and to reinstate services across third party land requiring an excavated 90m trench as well as planning permission for the building’s new use. This added to the logistical complexities of renovating a historical building with major structural problems on a difficult site. Reduced access required a kit of parts that were fabricated off site, with each component small and light enough for two people to carry through the courtyard. Working closely with a design engineer, a series of complex structural interventions were implemented to minimise visible structure within the double height space. Embedding steel A-frame trusses with cable rod connections and a high-level perimeter ring beam with concrete corner bonders hold the original brick envelope together and support the recycled slate roof. The interior of the house has been designed with an industrial feel for modern, everyday living. Taking advantage of a stepped profile in the envelope, the kitchen sits flush, carved into the double height wall. The black marble splash back and matched oak veneer door fronts combine with the spruce panelled staircase to create moments of contrasting materiality. With space at a premium and large numbers of vacant plots and undeveloped sites across London, this sympathetic conversion has transformed an abandoned building into a double height light-filled house that improves the fabric of the surrounding site and brings life back to a neglected corner of London.

Mary Ellen’s collection is a minimalistic and romantic inspired set. It has a touch of classic charm while maintaining a modern European aesthetic. One of our absolute favorite Instagram accounts is @maryellenskye. We love the design aesthetic of all her pictures. Her minimalistic approach with a flare of flowers, old charm and of course Nashville was enough for us to know we had to work on a collection with her. Mary Ellen's collection is a complete reflection of her minimalistic yet romantic love for home decor. Her home is inspired by a touch of southern charm with lots of flowers and nude tones. We asked her a few questions to find out what inspired her collection, what she loves and we even got a few tips on how to approach the decorating process. http://swiftdecor.com/blogs/designer-tips-tricks/romantic-meets-minimalistic

camilleriparismode projects and design team were approached by the young owners of a 1920s sliema townhouse who wished to transform the un-converted property into their new family home. the design team created a new set of plans which involved demolishing a dividing wall between the 2 front rooms, resulting in a larger living area and family room enjoying natural light through 2 maltese balconies. the juxtaposition of old and new, traditional and modern, rough and smooth is the design element that links all the areas of the house. the seamless micro cement floor in a warm taupe/concrete hue, connects the living room with the kitchen and the dining room, contrasting with the classic decor elements throughout the rest of the space that recall the architectural features of the house. this beautiful property enjoys another 2 bedrooms for the couple’s children, as well as a roof garden for entertaining family and friends. the house’s classic townhouse feel together with camilleriparismode projects and design team’s careful maximisation of the internal spaces, have truly made it the perfect family home.
