PLAY OF LIGHT

The flat overlooking Hyde park in Knightsbridge was reconfigured to make direct connections between the entry, kitchen, living and dining areas.

The existing columns and beams govern the strategy to reconfigure the new ceilings and walls. They become the reference control lines where the folds occur across the new ceiling planes. These folds are subtle and sometimes only visible when light casts across them, but are used to take the ceiling from the lower heights of the beams to the underside of the existing slab of the floor above.

Materially, each surface designates a change in plane and space. This is most evident in the bathrooms where colour and texture dominate the organization of the rooms.
