Chelsea Gate
Chelsea
Overview
The scheme was to reconfigure a duplex flat in a modern apartment building in Chelsea to provide an open plan layout at 5th floor level and accommodate 3 bedrooms and 3 en suites at sixth floor level, with plenty of storage space. A second phase of the project involved extending the 5th floor level to provide further space for a dining area opening to a terrace.
Heaven, emptiness, earth
The creative strategy for the project sought to achieve a sense of visual transition, following the concept of the 3 planes of depth found in Chinese landscape painting: Background (Heaven), Middle Ground (emptiness) and foreground (earth).
