That’s interesting: The apartment building, designed by eminent architect Richard Norman Shaw in 1879, was the first to be designed specifically as flats in London.
The spacious entrance hall features a made-to-order chaise longue and a sculptural Birds Birds Birds chandelier by Ingo Maurer. Dyfed, of Morph Interior, says he’d been wanting to use it in a design for years. “It’s rare to find a space with such lovely high ceilings that can actually take such a dramatic piece,” he says. “Even when the lights are off, it looks amazing.”
The intricate molding in this room is an original feature that the designer had painstakingly restored.
