This Grade II listed 1860s residence in the Little Venice Conservation has undergone a restoration by
Originate Architects revealed both the building’s history and its 21st Century use.
In the main reception, mid-century furniture pieces by Jorge Zalszupin and Pierre Jeanneret sit amongst art by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Alexander Calder and Celso Renato. The lower ground floor has a more minimalist look. To add warmth, we proposed a mix of reclaimed Antique Oak and American White Oak Country Vintage for the flooring, which reveals an abundant presence of worm-, beetle- and nail holes, but also knots, cracks and beautiful ageing patina.
Both wooden floors are finished with a bespoke stain and Ultramatt Poly finish to keep the wood as matt and as natural as possible. The floors are semi prefinished in our workshop with final top coats applied on site. The random Wwdths of the bedroom floor enhance the natural look and handcrafted feel of the floor.
