OLIVER BURNS
MARYLEBONE PIED-À-TERRE
~ Cool modern design with a flourish of glamour ~
A bold, contemporary design with a masculine edge was the concept for this two-bedroom pied-à-terre
in Regent’s Park - albeit one softened by feminine accents.
In this apartment, a cool, neutral palette serves as the perfect foil for glamorous detail with lighting key
throughout. In the entrance hall, a gold gilt coffered ceiling and oversized chandelier delivers an immediate
sense of grandeur, whilst in the living area, a more contemporary chandelier of three inter-locking crystal
rings creates a striking focal point, taking prominence above a soft grey leather sofa.
Lacquered wood cabinetry at either end of the room unifies the living space, which flows seamlessly
into the airy open-plan kitchen. Here, we designed a relaxed dining area with a central island of Carrara
marble that extends to form an integrated dining table with high stools – perfect for informal entertaining.
In a dynamic play of texture, sleek, highly polished surfaces are contrasted with tactile, luxurious fabrics
such as a Fendi rug and voluminous sheers to add warmth and depth.
The guest bedroom combines contemporary design with hints of old-fashioned femininity, enhanced by
the discreet flock wallpaper, Swarovski crystals and highlights of old rose. A more masculine feel returns
in the master bedroom, with dark, silvery hues and cool geometric designs. Fendi bedside tables clad
in leather add a touch of organic opulence - in keeping with a home where luxury resides between the
sleek and the sensuous.
ENTRANCE HALL
Handmade in Italy, an oversized chandelier adorned with rows of gold chains
and crystal pendants, sets a bold opulent tone for the rest of the apartment.
