The project creates a new interior for an apartment in the renovated South Bank Tower, London. An interior landscape of carved-out and interconnected spaces is formed from a combination of travertine, terrazzo, marble and velvet plaster – evoking the textures and atmosphere of the nearby Thames riverbank and waters. 

These natural materials and their monolithic scales provide architectural substance against the backdrop of London’s expanding skyline. The wetrooms, kitchen and bedroom storage are made as stone blocks, with strata and aggregates expressed to reinforce the formal clarity of the individual elements. The entrance vestibule is carved from brown travertine, a darker transitional space that reinforces the earthiness of materials.
