Close up of pillow textures and patterns. From intricate soft blue patterns, to blockish blue, red, and yellows.

Private residence in Southwark, London.

This apartment was inspired by our clients love of mid-century furniture and sci-fi. The apartment is also fully wheelchair accessible, to support his lifestyle requirements.

Light wood cupboards against a wall, next to R2 D2. On the wall are three wooden floating shelves hung up by iron bars. With an assortment of shelf items and books.

Accessible Design Features

We designed this apartment to give our client as much independence as possible.

This included:

  • Voice automated lights and window dressings: our client has limited dexterity in his hands, so voice automated controls were much easier for him to use.

  • A smooth floor, so that it feels gentle when our client rolls over the parquet in his wheelchair.

  • Acoustic barriers, such as the heavy wool curtains acting as room dividers, which gave our client privacy from his support team.

Direct view of the coffee table and zig zag patterned wood floor. Three wall sconces that look like folded paper squares light up the wall. The corner of the sectional shows with a soft throw blanket.

Long view of the end table, with lined textured details at the drawer. On top sit a plant, bottle, and stack of books. A wall sconce is aligned directly above.
Close up of the bedding pillows. Two large grey, blue, and cream striped back pillows. One center pillow with geometric patterns collaged into each other. Colourful orange, blue, black, white, yellow, and green stripes are within the complex pillow.
