Designing this four-bedroom triplex in Chelsea was about blending modern elegance with a touch of nature, all while keeping it cozy. We combined a two-bedroom duplex and a one-bedroom unit on the top three floors of a small building.

The setbacks in the building's design gave us a chance to create terraces on every floor, bringing a bit of the outdoors inside. The owner wanted a home with a soft, simple feel, so we aimed for a mix of modern and natural vibes.

​

The triplex is all about contrasts—hard and soft, straight lines and curves, textures and smooth surfaces. The standout feature is the spiraling staircase, winding through the space like a living artery. It's encased in a pale grey, shiny shell, like a nautilus shell, standing out against the mostly straight lines of the surrounding architecture.

​

As the designer, my goal was to make this triplex more than just a place to live. It's a carefully crafted blend of modern style and natural elements, creating a home that's both inviting and visually striking.
