Two-piece apartment, which surprised the editors

This London apartment has it all:a chic grand piano and designer furniture, bright color accents and thoughtful decor. The editors have not seen such unusual and bright interiors for a long time. This apartment in South Kensington appeared as a result of the merger of two apartments. The Italian Teresa Sapey, known primarily for her projects of hotels and underground parking, was engaged in their unification. However, she is no worse at private interiors, and this apartment is direct proof of this. Teresa Sapey, architect Teresa is an Italian architect and designer, since 1990 - the founder of her own studio in Madrid, Estudio Teresa Sapey. She graduated from the Polytechnic University of Turin, then received a master's degree from the Higher School of Architecture in Paris and the Parsons School of Design in New York. Currently, she is engaged in private and public interiors, and also teaches at the Complutense University of Madrid. The apartment is located in a 19th century mansion, and therefore has all the appropriate elements: high vaulted ceilings, spacious rooms, bay windows, arches, long and large windows. In total, the house has five bedrooms, five common rooms andfive bathrooms. In the public areas, the designer emphasized the historical spirit of the era with noble white finishes, expensive parquet floors, gilded radiator grilles and stained glass on some windows. Since this apartment is “put together” from two, itlogically divided into two wings. One contains the main and guest bedrooms, dressing rooms and a home gym, the other contains the kitchen, dining room, pantry, laundry room and two more bedrooms. Each room has its own flooring (carpet or marble), while all the windows, cornices and moldings are designed in the same style. To create a contrasting and interestingThe interior designer thought out the color palette so that white and black colors dominate in all public areas, while more colorful tones were chosen for living rooms. Neutral finishes and classic architectural elements are the perfect backdrop for patterned, textured spaces, funky light fixtures and contemporary custom furniture. There are a lot of art objects in the apartment andunusual, deliberately bright decorative elements: we see here vases of bizarre shapes, colorful candlesticks, and modern sculptures. Teresa explains this stylistic decision by her desire to create a modern, high-level home without historical and geographical barriers - a home in which a unique interrelation of architectural styles of the past, present and even future is created. It’s not without reason that we kept silent about the owners of the apartment -for now, they simply don’t exist. The project is ready for sale: you can buy a luxurious apartment with an area of over 600 square meters for 21 million British pounds.
