Glentree Review Introduction

Welcome again to the latest version of the glentree Review.

Contained in this Summer edition of our trusty Magazine are the

latest offerings of both properties for Sale and to Rent which we

hope are of interest to you.

Now that the Budget is out of the way, uppermost in your minds

must be the question “Where is the market heading from here

and is it a good time to buy/sell and what are the prospects for

the rental market?”

In answer to the first question, there was an unseemly rush to

get deals exchanged before the Budget deadline for stamp duty

and the rise in this tax for properties over £2 million is having

a temporary effect on market activity, but hopefully this will be

quickly assimilated and normal business will prevail in the

near future .

At the upper end of the residential property market the

provisions in the Budget regarding the purchase of substantial

properties through off shore companies will irritate some

international purchasers . What the Press/Lib Dem furore has

failed to acknowledge is that most significant properties in the

UK are owned personally and therefore a sale of even one of

these to an off shore corporation would have attracted stamp

duty at the full prevailing rate at the time.

Previously, in the odd example where the ownership of

the property is via an off shore corporation, the shares of

this entity (rather than the asset itself) could be purchased by

a foreign individual/corporation with a substantially reduced

stamp duty rate. We agree that although this may be denying

the Exchequer some much needed money (which is wrong),

in the scheme of things “it has not amounted to a hill of

beans”, (Bernard Shaw/Joan of Arc) in terms of absolute

revenue. Pandering to the Press outrage on this subject is fine

for electoral purposes and to keep the Coalition in place, but

one should be careful that “the treatment kills the disease and

not the patient”.

Let’s be honest here, the economy needs a robust residential

property market to help stimulate growth and one has to be

careful that “the baby is not thrown out with the bath water”.

The fast return to rude health of the London residential property

market after the “Credit Crunch” is unique in the world and an

important driving force for the economy. Too much tinkering

here could be costly .

over the year we believe that the residential sales market will

continue to grow steadily and relentlessly by probably up to

5% in London (far less in the outer regions) as interest rates/

mortgage rates remain usefully low, assisted by falling inflation

(RPI/CPI)which will hopefully move towards the 2% predicted

by the governor of the Bank of England recently.

To the second question about rental markets, as the Capital

markets reach new highs and business activity generally

increases, requirements for rental properties are increasing in all

price ranges which is pushing up Rental prices and now results in

the shortage of good quality stock to let.

Frankly it is our belief that the residential market in London over

time is a safe place to be. If you are in stable employment then

there are good Fixed Term Mortgage deals to be had, so remain

fully invested in residential property to the maximum extent

that you feel comfortable.

The olympics/Diamond Jubilee will act as a fillip to the markets

generally this year and will bring many potential investors to

these shores with saddle bags of cash to spend, which will help

drive our economy.

Have a good summer and no doubt we will meet again in the

Autumn/Winter.

Shawish’s flagship store and studio sits in the idyllic heart of Geneva’s old town. Under the direction of its powerful artistic and creative force, Shawish is the result of years of planning and an intense interest in the diamond industry. Shawish’s dynamic owners are fascinated with the world of gems and it was during their formal education that they fell in love with the beauty and endless possibility of diamonds.

Poetic InspirationInspiration is drawn from a variety of global cultures. However, it is poetry that underscores all Shawish designs. “Our jewellery represents a combination of sophistication and beauty combined with an exclusive touch of luxury to make our collections truly exceptional.” Channeling a unique artistic aesthetic, Shawish holds a romantic feminine sentiment.

CraftsmanshipShawish jewellery is distinguished by attention to detail and extreme rigour throughout the manufacturing process. The jewellery is assembled in a workshop adjoining the Shawish showroom. Working in close proximity with artisans allows complete control over all stages of production from the initial faceting of the stones to polishing and assembly – all carried out to Shawish’s own exacting standards.

New FrontiersShawish secured the copyright for the all-diamond ring one year ago in Geneva. It took one year to get the copyright and Shawish had to undergo multiple tests with the design to get the precision of the circle right using special laser equipment to cut directly into the diamond. “The most important aspect ispreserving the integrity of the diamond and of course the most difficult phase is precision cutting an entire stone into a ring.”

Shawish is now in search of the perfect hand to create the £43million, 150-carat masterpiece.

THE MAGIC OF MAURITIUSNestling between sugarcane fi elds and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean,

Shanti Maurice satisfi es all the senses.

With exotic gardens, pristine white sands, a sublime spa, spacious accommodation and restaurants brimming with fresh ideas,

you’ll fi nd a place, and people, devoted to pleasure.

By Kate Carter.

IN OUR ISLAND’S BEAUTIFUL SOUTH A PLACE AND PEOPLE DEVOTED TO PLEASURE

If you are looking for some winter sun, Mauritius in the Indian Ocean is the ideal choice, whether you are looking to escape as a couple, with family or friends.

Shanti Maurice is a world class resort where you are certain to return feeling fully refreshed thanks to its idyllic beach setting on the southern tip of the island, stunning spa, delicious food and extensive kids club – the latter promising activities that children will be able to return home and boast about to their friends. With a careful blend of luxury and local fl avour, this boutique lifestyle resort is a must for the traveller who wants to combine international touches with a genuine Mauritian experience.

With the sights, sounds and fl avours of the unique cultural mix that makes up Mauritius, Shanti Maurice successfully combines Indian, African, French and Chinese infl uences throughout every

aspect of the resort. Mauritian architect, Jean-Marc Eynaud, based the design of Shanti Maurice on a tropical model in order to refl ect the resort’s natural surroundings, creating a wonderfully al fresco ambiance.

61 spacious suites and villas are dotted across a 36 acre landscape of fragrant tropical gardens. All 17 villas are located on the beachfront overlooking the Indian Ocean, with each villa comprising a private pool, outdoor rain shower and dining pavilion.

As Shanti Maurice’s philosophy is built on a desire for guests to use the resort as a base from which to experience the very best that the real Mauritius has to offer, the resort’s concierge is at hand to arrange local experiences from swimming with dolphins at Tamarind Bay to a tour of the Bois Cheri Tea Factory, which has been making tea for over 100 years.

After a day spent touring the island, we treated ourselves to a visit to the resort’s award-winning spa oasis – Nira Spa, one of the largest in the Indian Ocean with 25 treatment rooms.

Built around an enchanting tea pavilion and surrounded by lily ponds and indigenous fl ower gardens, we were able to relax and be pampered by highly skilled masseurs and spa therapists who work alongside nutritionists, personal trainers and Ayurvedic Doctors to encourage optimum health and mental wellbeing.

This is the ideal break for stressed and tired guests looking to re-energise or couples simply looking to indulge and be pampered together.

The spa’s concept is a mix of East and West, offering Ayurvedic and Africology treatments.

An ancient healing system, Ayurveda – a Sanskrit derivation from two roots, ‘Ayus’ and ‘Veda’, meaning life and knowledge respectively – has been practiced for more than 5,000 years.

In essence, the science of Ayurveda aims to treat the mind, body and soul.

The Africology spa range includes an assortment of natural products utilising African botanicals.

Rooibos, Aloe Vera, Marula and African Potato, to name just a few, combine to help stop the signs of ageing and also to repair damage caused by harsh environments.

SUBLIME SPA EXPERIENCES SERENE SELF INDULGENCE

An ideal resort for food lovers, Shanti Maurice offers extensive dining options, with an emphasis on locally-sourced fresh fare. We had the chance to meet Executive Chef Willibald Reinbacher, who carefully sources the vast majority of ingredients from the island’s farmers and fi shermen. The hotel’s kitchen garden produces lettuce, fruits, vegetables and herbs.

Stars, the resort’s signature restaurant, presents a vibrant ‘local fusion’ cuisine that takes its infl uence from the Cape Province of South Africa. Pebbles offers an international, all-day dining menu, with cuisine refl ecting the rich diversity of Mauritius’ cultural roots. The restaurant also offers spa cuisine, for guests preferring lighter, healthier dining options.

At Red Ginger, experienced bartenders serve a delectable range of cocktails, from the most traditional highballs and martinis to daiquiris and exotic juices – an ideal base from which to start or end your evening.

Shanti Maurice’s rustic beach-side Fish and Rhum Shack is an outdoor dining treat, where we feasted on freshly grilled lobster, accompanied by a selection of delicious salads.

Here you can sip rum cocktails – featuring over 40 types of rum from the local distillery – and beers from the local brewery whilst watching the waves break upon the rocks of the cove, all beneath the starlit night sky. Sega dancers from the local village provide the entertainment for the evening as they dance around in their brightly-coloured dresses.

For those in search of a completely authentic dining option, ‘Grandma’s Kitchen’, is a new offering we discovered while on the resort. Here, guests are invited to dinner at the home of a local Mauritian grandmother who will share her knowledge on Mauritian cooking, including key ingredients, many of which are hand-picked from the local markets. After the meal, Grandma presented us with a mini book of her original recipes as a memento – at home I have been recreating a few of our favourites.

The third edition arising from the committed partnership between Hublot and Manchester United, Steven Hall took a trip to Manchester and the hallowed turf of Old Trafford to see the new Hublot, King Power being unveiled.

The King Power

Red Devil

Fine Living | 53

54 | Fine Living Fine Living | 55

Featuring new technical details, and equipped with a new chronograph movement with two centre chrono hands providing better readability, the King Power Red Devil is a fine symbol of fusion and innovation, paying tribute to this most legendary of football clubs.

At 6 pm on 7 May 2011, the day before the match against Chelsea, the hallowed turf of Old Trafford - the scene of so many victories, so much excitement and effort - has been chosen by the Manchester United players, Sir Alex Ferguson and Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of Hublot, to host the presentation of the new King Power Red Devil to the international press.

In tribute to one of the world’s most famous football clubs, for which it has been Official Timekeeper since 2008, Hublot has developed a King Power equipped for the first time with a chronograph movement distinguished by two centre chrono hands. This makes for better readability - quicker and more efficient.

The wearer can keep track of both hands at a glance; the first indicates the seconds, and the other hand, specially developed for football, indicates the time elapsed out of the 45 mins in each half.

With a sapphire dial, the movement – here in an Aero Bang version - has also undergone new skeleton working, leaving it more open to reveal even more of the working parts of the watch and its fine mechanics. The topside retains only the material necessary for it to function. This is coated with black ruthenium for a beautiful overall effect of homogeneity, and clearer reading. Predominantly red, the minute track, a time counter at 9 o’clock and a date window at

4 o’clock round off the piece, stamped with the famous, slightly rebellious Red Devils emblem at 3 o’clock. In a nod to Old Trafford’s more than one hundred year-old turf, the focus of all attention, the watch indexes come in a natural grass-green colour, obtained using real blades of grass from Old Trafford, picked and preserved especially by the club’s groundsmen for the making of this limited series.

It took Hublot 6 months of development to stabilise the plant material and its original colour, including against UV and temperature differences. The freeze-dried blades of grass were inserted into the indexes through an all-new process, then coated with a special transparent lacquer to secure them permanently.

The King Power case – 48 mm in diameter, and here in micro-blasted black ceramic or in 18K King Gold - has been revamped. Its two push-buttons have been redesigned, and are now each protected by a little safety bar, which is completely built in either side of the crown. Moreover, in a final reference to the legendary club and bringing a last aesthetic touch to the piece, the black rubber strap has a red line in the centre, directly inspired by Manchester United’s graphic charter.

This limited edition is produced in 500 numbered pieces for the micro-blasted black ceramic version and in 250 pieces for the King Gold 18K version. Every watch is accompanied by a certificate guaranteeing its authenticity, signed personally by Sir Alex Ferguson.

tsunamilife. style.

tsunami have spent the last 10 years perfecting the art of kitchens, culminating in today’s union of exceptional designers and superlative products. over time we have built on experience to tailor products to lifestyle, not lifestyle to products. through this approach, we have arrived at a style that doesn’t pander to fashion, favouring timeless materials and classic fittings.

58 | Fine Living

Fine Living | 59

our designers are all trained in architecture or design, and are employed to strive for intelligent integration of functional needs as part of a broader lifestyle. in the tsunami repertoire, form and function are styled as one. the design work we undertake operates as part of the wider concept of the ‘home’.

as such, we often advise about areas outside the kitchen. more often than not, the ideas we promote encompass eating, living, cooking, dining, resting and so on. the boundaries between the functions are blurred by the overriding persona of the house.

the finishes and arrangement of furniture and fixtures are entwined across these boundaries, and possess the same essence of permanence as the fabric of the building they occupy. this dictates that our designs are luxury, since anything less would become too disposable.

luxury is borne out of material. natural materials age and move with time. the most timeless materials are those that are closest to nature. with these thoughts in mind, it is logical for us to make extensive use of stone and wood. the quality of the material is maximised by the simplicity of the furniture and bespoke work we produce.

the furniture from minotti cucine works on a minimal formal basis. the materials that are applied can be witnessed in broad, uninterrupted pieces, where we clearly perceive the age of the material through the markings that have developed in it over time. this method of simple formal arrangement to express material continues into the detail design of our spaces. handles, fi xtures, joints are minimised, removing fussiness and gimmick. the fi nish is also tailored to dramatic effect, so stone is often worked and textured to remove the artifi cial sheen of process.

at every scale, from the idea of the whole house as a fl uid entity, to the smallest junction between two materials, our designers work to integrate the notions of simplicity and materiality with function. this all-encompassing approach to conceiving spaces in the home is our speciality. with this in mind, tsunami must be the fi rst choice for any architect or designer working on modern prestige residential projects.

Without exception, all of my sources continue to report that supply for prime

property in London remains low, yet the demand is ever increasing with the FT reporting £5.2bn spent on London property in 2011 by foreign buyers alone.

On the whole the UK creates a very clear environment to conduct business in and provides safety from a legal and regulatory perspective. It will be interesting to note the real impact of the recent Budget on this dynamic, alas we will have to wait for the interpretation of the government’s consultation paper once concluded.

The general feeling is that it will not make a huge difference, but the

introduction of 15% stamp duty on the acquisition of shares for property owned by a company, and uncertainty over key aspects of taxation for non-doms may deter some international buyers. It must be remembered, however, that in many respects this is a ‘must have’ acquisition for a home and as such increases in associated costs will ultimately be absorbed in to the process.

London also offers another platform of security for the very wealthy as they are more likely to enjoy the increased opportunity to procure credit, albeit on terms which might not suit them (e.g. offering their assets for management in lieu of low interest rates). As we have mentioned in our blog, financial institutions are

still highly risk adverse and protecting their balance sheets with extreme caution. Thus the liquidity crisis continues relatively unabated for the masses. For UHNWIs who have the ability to navigate their way around the credit markets, the door is open to capitalise on the historically low interest rate environment.

London, like any major international city, works extremely hard to compete for business, but it is easy to be critical of The City and indeed view the economic challenges as working to dispirit our motivation.

Our capital city gives us many reasons to be proud, this year in particular with the Olympics and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

But let us not forget that despite the difficulties and uncertainties we face with the economy, London is still one of the most desirable and effective places in the world to conduct business.

London The Foremost Capital City

Dear Reader, Irrespective of the deliberations that ensue as a consequence of ill conceived tax reforms, with key factors open for discussion, thankfully there is a real feeling of safety in numbers as homeowners, investors and developers alike still concentrate attentions on Prime London real estate.

There’s something particularly special about champagne – just the mention of the name suggests celebration and excitement.

When choosing a bottle, either for your own

delectation or for a gift, it’s often worth

eschewing the better-known brands and

checking out some of the smaller growers.

All too often nowadays, we are besieged by

special offers in the supermarket and just

because a brand is very well known and can

afford a massive advertising spend, it doesn’t

mean it is the best choice.

one champagne house, Champagne gosset,

the oldest wine house in Champagne, founded

in Aÿ in 1584, is worth seeking out.

It is still a family run business, the same family

running Cognac Frapin. The family maintains

the hands on approach that was started by the

original gosset family.

CHAMPAGNE IT’S WORTH TREATING YOURSELF

TO THE GOOD STUFF…

gosset was originally solely situated in the tiny grand

Cru village of Aÿ, five kilometres north of Epernay,

but the company also has headquarters in Epernay

itself: Domaine gosset, the former mansion of the

Potain family, a historic building dating back to the

19th Century with 1.6km of cellars up to 18 metres

in depth. Production remains in Aÿ where gosset has

some rather famous neighbours. However, gosset’s

production is way below that of the larger houses and

is just over one million bottles a year.

gosset champagnes are ‘recently disgorged’ and the

house does not undertake malolactic fermentation

through its entire range presented in the tradition

flask, an exact replica of the one used by the family in

the 18th Century. This preserves acidity, which in turn

keeps the wine fresh for much longer.

The gosset style is rich, creamy and dry, but not acidic,

with a distinctive long elegant finish.

All cuvées are aged in the bottle much longer than

is legally required to enhance the flavours, aromas,

richness and elegance, but above all, the larger

the bottles are, the longer they are kept in the

deep cellars.

gosset champagnes can be enjoyed beautifully on

their own or matched with a wide range of classic and

contemporary dishes, including Far Eastern, which can

be notoriously difficult to match with wines.

You won’t find gosset in any supermarket; it is sold

only through fine wine shops and other top-end

retailers such as Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, Selfridges,

Hanford Wines, Wholefoods Market and Harvey

Nichols. It is also widely available online from retailers

such as Berry Bros & Rudd and is stocked in high quality

hotels and restaurants such as The Capital, Pollen Street

Social, Rhodes 24 and The Dorchester Hotel.

First in the gosset range is Brut Excellence NV.

A crisp, aromatic blend (36% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and 19% Pinot Meunier) and high proportion of reserve wines from

previous vintages (over 20%). It’s ideal for wedding receptions and

large gatherings.

Gosset Grand Blanc de Blancs.

This is a combination of 100 per cent chardonnay

grapes from three vintages (2003, 2004 and 2005)

lets take a look at the range nnn

w w w . c h a m p a g n e - g o s s e t . c o m

Gosset Grand Rosé NV is blended from 58% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot

Noir, and 7% red wine from the grand Cru villages of Ambonnay and Bouzy. Delicate yet full-bodied, it has many fans and is recognised as one of the best rosé champagnes. A beautiful salmon pink colour, it really is the

classic Rosé champagne.

Grande Réserve MV is powerful and biscuity (43% Chardonnay, 42% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Meunier) and in the distinctive “Bouteille Ancienne”, characteristic

of the rest of the gosset range. It’s ideal with food, particularly dishes with strong sauces. grande Réserve is a blend of several vintages and has a rich, toasty flavour.

It was awarded both a Coup de Coeur and ‘grappe d’or’ (Best Wine of the year) by the guide Hachette 2010

(from over 36,000 wines including 2,000 champagnes!)

Gosset Grand Millésime is the first of three vintage wines produced by

Champagne gosset. The most recent is the 2000, a blend of 57% Chardonnay and 43% Pinot Noir, and a mature, perfectly

balanced champagne.

Champagne gosset’s jewel in the crown is its CELEBRIS range; the top cuvée produced and only ever produced in the best vintages. The most recent is the 1998. It is packaged in very striking circular presentation boxes

and makes a superb gift.

In addition to the classic CELEBRIS vintage, there is the CELEBRIS Blanc des Blancs; pure Chardonnay, with

a very low dosage – just 3.5g per litre and is extra brut. A blend of four previous vintage

wines (currently 1999, 1998, 1996 and 1995) this is rich and creamy, classically ‘gosset’ in style. It has toasty aromas and hints of citrus.

Champagne Gosset CELEBRIS Vintage1998

Extra Brut is 36% Pinot Noir and 64% Chardonnay.

It again has a very low dosage. The result is initially crisp, dry and fresh, then opens up to reveal the classic gosset brioche and raisin flavours.

Champagne Gosset CELEBRIS Rosé 2003 is the third ‘low dosage’ champagne in the

gosset portfolio.

Pure red fruit flavours, hints of vanilla and rich spices are evident in what

is a beautifully produced and presented champagne.

Ok, so you’ve spent the last few years planning, saving, working and building your future through investment in a nice property. So much thought and care to get it just right, perhaps with a nice car in the garage to compliment your property? So why would you choose a standard insurance policy bought in a hurry from a comparison web-site?

Well let’s examine the differences.

You buy a policy which states it has £100,000 worth of contents insurance because it’s relatively inexpensive and convenient. Do you really know what your contents are worth? Most of us would be horrified if we really calculated up everything including the copious amounts of handbags and shoes (that are only ever worn once), owned by the lady of the house. And what about those hand tailored suits for the dapper businessman? Have you considered these as contents? Then there’s the beautiful window dressings, the cutlery, the linens, stamp collection in the attic, to mention just a few, the list is endless. So have a look again, is £100,000 really enough in the event they all had to be replaced? How will you know how much it’s all worth if your house suffers a complete and total loss?

This is precisely why your precious home should be insured by a specialist insurer who can look after you, your home, your valuables and that special car sometimes under one policy with one renewal.

Peter Best Insurance offers such expertise and can offer cover from award-winning insurers such as Hiscox and Chubb Insurance. These companies offer complete protection for almost every eventually with claims services based on strong Company principles of integrity, trustworthiness and honour. They pride themselves in their reputation for paying claims swiftly and without fuss and they win awards for doing just that.

Cover for a high value home is completely different to that of a standard property. Consideration must be taken for security, valuables, fine art, and antiques and of course, more importantly, family protection cover for eventualities such as car-jacking, identity fraud, kidnap and ransom and road rage. You need to ensure that everything you value is not just covered but protected. This type of complex cover is rarely offered in a standard policy. In addition, High Value Home insurers often offer valuation services from specialists in fine art with advice on security and fire protection to boot. From experience, this type of advice can prove invaluable and offers you the protection of having your valuables replaced at an agreed value rather than an estimated “market value” which might not be enough to replace the item.

Having your contents valued by a professional is really quite important particularly since the value of precious metals in particular can often fluctuate both ways. Sometimes buried treasure is found. Do you have a Ming vase being used as a table lamp? The benefit to you is that providing it is kept up to date, it serves as “proof of ownership” as well as value. This makes the process of paying claims for valuables etc. simple and fuss free. None of us want to have to make a claim as by its very nature, it represent a loss of some kind but the experience can be made all the more traumatic where there is uncertainty over proof of ownership and value.

Essentially, high value insurers do the work up front and take time to make sure you are correctly insured in order to honour their promise to pay when the unexpected happens.

So, with reference to our standard policy, you fill in what you think is correct, the computer says yes, churns out a price, you pay the premium – happy days? So is it a gamble worth taking? In my opinion, there is no sense in paying for a policy that will not fulfil your expectations in the event of a loss. Purchasing the wrong policy and without the correct advice can be catastrophic. And just to use the words of one of our insurers, we should all “expect the unexpected “, after all, that’s why we need insurance in the first place.

when one size doesn’t fit all...

In essence, one standard home is much the same as the next, hence the ability for comparison sites and direct insurers to offer “blanket” cover. If your home would cost more than £350,000 to rebuild and your contents are worth more than £150,000, then you should consider high value home cover which offers you the protection your really need, because one size doesn’t really fit all.

Here at Glentree our thoughts have definitely turned to spring – the warm weather and emergence of beautiful spring bulbs and blossom have inspired us and made us dare to think about using our outside space, making summer plans, getting the garden in shape, bringing light into the home, spring cleaning...! To inspire our readers we have focused on the work of our favourite local design & build company, Living In Space, and bring you images of some of their recent projects to help to leave the winter firmly behind and take inspiration for your own living spaces.

At this time of year, even on a sunny day, the sunlight is still quite weak and you need to bring as much of it into the home as possible to banish the post winter blues. Glass extensions and rooflights will flood your space with natural light and can create an unbroken vista out into your garden or terrace space, promoting a feeling of unity between the interior and the outdoors. In this period property

in Primrose Hill, Living In Space built a glass extension at the rear, leading out into the garden and flooding the potentially dark basement space with light. Doors that open fully and concertina back against the garden wall give the best possible access to the garden, and in the summer create the opportunity to use the extension and terrace almost as one space. Using the same floor finishes inside and out, as Living In Space have here, is a great trick to further blur that boundary between house and garden.

This large family home near Hampstead Heath has a very large basement with the benefit of a wall of glass, creating the same effect but on a larger scale. This living space with colourful playroom area is bright and cosy in the winter (note from the team at Living In Space - double glazing is a must!) but really comes into its own in the spring and summer when the wall of glass doors can be opened to effectively double the living space, the family spilling out onto the terrace and using their outside space to its maximum potential.

In South Kensington this five storey house had access to the garden only from the basement, which was a dark, badly laid out warren of rooms. Living In Space opened up the space to create a large cinema and playroom, with brightly coloured low slung Ligne Roset sofas where the family can relax together. A full wall of glass doors was built at the rear, bringing that much needed light into the space – the addition of a glass rooflight at the end of the room adds even more. The same stone tiles run straight through into the garden beyond creating an unbroken vista that marries the spaces together. White walls inside and out further add to the illusion of a single space.

See how the sunlight streams into the basement room – this is the holy grail of basement design, and Living In Space have really fulfilled their brief here.

This Primrose Hill canal side property is a lesson in how to completely re-energise a space. The original layout was dark, unimaginative and didn’t celebrate any of the property’s great features. Living In Space totally replanned the space, extending the front of the house and building a double height entrance hall with huge rooflights. This leads straight into an open plan kitchen and dining area, which in turn leads out through concertina glass doors onto a decked terrace over the canal.

Special mention must go here to the terrace design which has really made the most of a small area. Bespoke fixed seating down one side cleverly segways into an outdoor gel fire – an invaluable idea in these English summers! A plain contemporary awning can be wound out or in depending on the clients’ needs, and creates a feeling of unity between the two living areas.

It’s that time of year to think about having a good spring clean. The strong summer sunlight that’s on its way is unforgiving on a cluttered, dusty interior. Take a long hard look at your belongings and be militant about getting rid of things that you don’t use or need – but please don’t throw them away, give them to charity or whatever you can do to avoid them going to landfill. Why not reward yourself with the promise of some sleek new storage to hold all of the belongings that made it through the cull? This pair of Living In Space projects, both in NW3, perfectly encapsulate how built in storage can really change your life.

Floor to ceiling doors with clever modern shadow gaps below maximise the storage possibilities inside and create a beautifully discreet run of doors when closed. Living In Space recommend using touch catches rather than handles to further create the sleek contemporary look. Imagine no clutter in your home... it truly is possible!
