Project Featured on Mar 20, 2014
Our client purchased a small apartment space next to the old Bermondsey docklands and the current home of the Design Museum, and sought to fit it out with a completely new interior. As with the later Clerkenwell Loft project, IOA sought to enhance the character of the original building with subtle and humble interventions.
One of our first decisions was to expose the timber joist structure above, a decision that now defines all spaces of the apartment. The scale of the apartment required a sensible and straightforward layout to maximize space. A long strip of joinery was used to create a divide between the open-plan living space and the more private bedroom area.
All of the finishes on the new walls and joinery are plain and monochromatic, acting as a canvas for the texture of the brick and timber. Sliding pocket doors prevented the need for architraves on the existing brick walls.
Lights were placed on the plasterboard bulkheads, leaving the timber joists untouched. The only tactile additions were the concrete floors and countertop, which brought a contemporary sensuality into the home without jostling with the existing materials for dominance.
