Stylish yet simplistic design is the key to this stunning residence in central London, designed by infamous Brazilian interior designer João Botelho of Casa Botelho and with flooring by the Reclaimed Flooring Company. The project involved a complete transformation, shifting dark and lifeless rooms to a home with spectacular views of the garden and a totally modern open-plan feel.
João commented on the project saying, “Most of the basement, ground, and the first floor had to be completely re-worked with major structural work … We created a new extension on the ground floor for the kitchen leading to a new paved garden. The greatest thing about the kitchen is that we were able to maintain the ceiling height of the existing double reception room creating a super-imposing area with the floor to ceiling being three metres high and leading to the garden. We removed most of the walls on this floor and created a modern open apartment.”
João selected the Reclaimed Flooring Company’s exclusive Driftwood Oak flooring, finished in a ‘Braided River’ patina (grey) for the project, which adds a touch of character to the overall luxurious design. Colour and texture are very important factors when it comes to choosing wood and this subtle grey, engineered wide plank flooring perfectly enhances the overall colour palette of the space.
At the RFC all finishes and textures are carefully designed to make a subtle statement and transform homes and offices. To create the rich patina of the Driftwood Oak range, secret organic formulas are designed to react with the tannin acid that exists naturally within the timber, allowing RFC to create a time capsule effect that speeds up the natural ageing process.
