The Brief
We designed this central London apartment for a high-profile client who had absolutely no interest in fleeting trends. Her vision was beautifully clear: a personal palace inspired by the glamour of a luxury superyacht, demanding opulent gold details and strictly no beige.

The Kitchen
The undeniable centrepiece of the kitchen is a bespoke island wrapped entirely in backlit Onyx. When the evening lights go down, the natural stone glows with a spectacular, warm amber fire that instantly sets the mood for entertaining.

The Details
To match the stone, we developed a custom Mirror Finish paint. This isn’t standard gloss; it’s an intensive process of painting, buffing, and polishing until you can see your reflection. We added gold trim detailing and rich leather panels—because if you’re going to do luxury, you might as well go all out.
The Bar
Why go out when you can have a bar like this? The client wanted a world-class evening experience without leaving the residence. We leaned into Art Deco glamour with a backlit Green Agate bar—a glowing piece of living art where the light highlights every crystal formation. Bold, dramatic, and magnificently lavish, this is a space that demands you pour a glass, sit down and stay a while.
The Lounge & Dining
The bar opens straight onto the lounge, so the whole floor works as one space for entertaining. Geometric brass screen doors frame the dining room beyond, picking up the gold that runs through the penthouse, while the green agate glows behind the sofas as the evening draws in.

The Dressing Room
A private boutique to finish the penthouse. A curved island topped in ivory onyx sits at the centre, surrounded by high-gloss ivory cabinetry, mirrored wardrobes and display niches lined in crumpled gold leaf, all beneath a gold leaf ceiling and a crystal chandelier.
The Finished Project
This project is fearless. It combines backlit stone, high-gloss lacquer, and exotic leathers to create a home that is a serious statement of intent.
