We were commissioned to transform a large run-down flat occupying the ground floor and basement of a grand house in Hampstead into a spectacular contemporary apartment. The property was originally built for a gentleman artist in the 1870s who installed various features including the gothic panelling and stained glass in the living room, acquired from a French church. Since its conversion into a boarding house soon after the First World War, and then flats in the 1960s, hardly any remedial work had been undertaken and the property was in a parlous state.

The black and white guest bathroom features a wall-hung mirror with ornate framing, complementing the black table below. The intricate black detailing is echoed in the luxurious chandelier while the white basin balances the use of black in the space. Photography by Daniel Swallow.
