Client: Private Client
Status: Completed September 2005
Set in the former Hartley’s Jam Factory in Bermondsey, this 115m2 shell apartment features brick walls, cast iron columns and eight high windows along the west facing façade. The clients wanted to maximise this opportunity for open plan living whilst retaining the flexibility to create private space when required.
Our response is based on a rational floor plan with a ribbon of living, kitchen and dining accommodation adjacent to the windows optimising the use of natural light. Bedrooms, bathrooms, study and storage areas are positioned along the interior back wall.
Two bespoke folding doors allow the bedroom and bathroom areas to be partitioned off when required, but when open, create a totally open plan unit. A polished white resin floor flows throughout giving sleek, modern uniformity to the apartment.
