The Pryors
Elegant remodel of a light-filled Edwardian mansion block apartment.
The primary concept for this apartment renovation sought to better define the entertaining and social spaces. Relocating the kitchen and opening up the living and dining rooms was key in defining these spaces and to maintain privacy in the remainder of the apartment. The addition of sliding pocket doors between the kitchen and living room provided a physical and visual connection across the hallway and allowed natural light to flow through.
A considered combination of old and new elements were used across the design, to find a balance of contemporary Scandinavian-inspired design whilst respecting the original Edwardian features. The simple, clean material palette compliments the richness of the buildings history, whilst providing an elegant backdrop for our client’s eclectic mix of fabrics, furniture and artwork.

“I would emphasise Astrain Scheldt’s obsession with details: fixtures, fittings; as well as small details or the larger ones. They explore all the options and variations extensively. There is an obsessive care for detail, which is obvious throughout.”
