From the moment I walked in, it felt like an easy yes. The windows and the way the light pours in, the alcove that subtly defines the bedroom, and the hallway that leads you into the main living space all give the studio a sense of openness and flow. I was also drawn to the fact that the kitchen was not a standard white box - a small detail that made the space feel considered and warm.

The renovation project for this apartment aimed to enhance the spaciousness of the original 1970s floor plan, overcoming certain shortcomings through minor interventions. The scarcity of natural light and the need to expand the living areas prompted a rearrangement of the kitchen, laundry, and living room programs, as well as the connections between them. In this shift, the laundry room was relocated to the apartment's private wing.

I also specialize in white-glove upholstery services for intricate vintage pieces that require a deep understanding of craftsmanship, construction, and materials. Often, clients come to me needing a very specific piece or color for a shoot or interview, and I'm able to offer not just the furniture itself, but the ability to customize it to fit their vision.

When you live in one place for a while, it's natural to accumulate a lot of stuff. Whether it's knickknacks, mail, shoes, or piles of your kids' forgotten and abandoned toys, things just pile up.

While earth tones are still popular, many clients have been gravitating toward bolder colors for walls and trim. Sometimes, even ceilings are being painted a complementary color as opposed to white. Painted cabinets are still the most popular finishes for kitchens and vanities - many of these are also bolder colors; dark and rich blues and greens have been popular. Things like built-in bookcases and entertainment centers often blend seamlessly into the surrounding trim color.

However, this renovation in London had one major advantage right from the start: Although the impressive town house is located in a so-called "Conservation Area," it was not classified as a Listed Building, which made the renovation work considerably easier. "We were able to renovate the house from top to bottom without any major restrictions," recalls Rigby. "We also had a very dedicated site manager. As a result, the entire construction process went extremely smoothly."

When the designer envisioned this futuristic public library, the intent was not simply to create a building, but to craft a living, breathing celebration of books. More than a repository of knowledge, this space was imagined as an environment that inspires awe, invites curiosity, and offers tranquility, a true sanctuary for the mind. The concept takes the instantly recognizable form of an open book, a symbol as timeless as the act of reading itself.
