Kensington Church St, London, W8 Detailed space planning was an essential element in the refurbishment of this Kensington home. Custom built wardrobes under sloping attic ceilings and an ensuite bathroom installed in a vaulted basement cellar are just two examples of how good design need not be compromised by awkward surroundings. Combining contemporary and traditional Oriental design, clean lines and natural materials, the key to this successful aesthetic lies in its balance of tone and overall subtlety.
