Lawson Robb are the latest designers to reach the shortlist of the Residential £10 million plus Award. The London-based design practice will compete with an elegant, contemporary project located in Belgravia.

The client requested a classic modern style, mixing interesting finishes and fabrics. He requested a colour scheme of chocolates, creams, tobacco and taupe; the interior design needed to compliment his art work. Although a new build, the house looks as though it has been there for more than 200 years. The existing interior feel of the house is contemporary so the design team wanted to create a classic modern, timeless design that would work sympathetically with the existing finishes and layouts.

On the third floor, two bedrooms and a bathroom were transformed into a wellness/spa area with a crisp modern and minimalist approach. Steam room, sauna and shower are enclosed and separated with glazed panels and positioned against a hand chiseled stone feature wall. A WC is concealed behind a mirror wall to create space and light. The space is complimented with techno gym equipment and a comfortable day bed. The sliding/folding doors provide a seamless transition to the external terrace which includes a fireplace. The design is light and uncluttered with attention to detail.
