A pied-à-terre for an international client who wanted the calm of a members' club. Walnut panelling, a linear bioethanol fire and a recessed media wall give the main volume its anchor.

Backlit joinery and layered, dimmable lighting let the apartment shift from bright working daylight to a low evening glow.

Period London details were retained and re-cut where the plan opened up, keeping the apartment rooted in its Georgian shell.
