Harley Street Private Residence

This impressive compact Pied-à-terre refurbishment in West London needed to work hard for its owners. Map Projects’ ingenious design makes every inch count, incorporating bespoke joinery and resulting in a space perfectly imagined as a capsule of tranquility with soft tones, natural textures relaxing to the touch, and filtered, diffused lighting. Somewhere between a hotel room, a train carriage and a boat cabin, the apartment functions as a retreat to navigating demanding schedules. Map Projects’ aim was to create an environment that was easy to use, both initiative and comforting – a place to recharge, and refocus after a long work trip.
