Duplex Apartment in Hackney

London, UK
2022

This renovation project involved the transformation of a compact 1960s duplex apartment in Hackney into a light-filled, contemporary home for a young family.

Our approach focused on maximising space and enhancing flow throughout the two levels. We reconfigured the bathroom to create a more generous, efficient layout and replaced all finishes across the apartment to bring cohesion and warmth.

The heart of the project lies on the upper floor, where we opened up a previously compartmentalised layout—removing corridors, doors, and partition walls—to create an expansive kitchen and living area.

Framed by sweeping views across London, this newly unified space features a full-length Vitsoe shelving system along the main wall, providing both a focal point and a home for the clients’ cherished book collection.
