Contemporary Apartment
Kings Cross, london
‘This is an interior scheme that showcases the client's fabulous art collection'
VERITY WOOLF, FOUNDER
Residential Project
1,600 SQFT / 148 SQM Units
Built between 1860 and 1880, the Grade II listed cast iron Gasholders guide frames were revived by Architects Wilkinson Eyre. The interlocking trio are now a spectacular uniquely original telescopic high-end residential development located in the heart of Kings Cross, London.
Luxury Interior Design in a Historic Listed Building
The Gasholders in Kings Cross is steeped in heritage, and every WOOLF project begins with a respect for its historical context. Within this Grade II-listed building, original features such as the exposed steel framework were celebrated and reinterpreted. These structural elements serve as a striking contrast to the clean lines and high-quality finishes that WOOLF introduces through layered materials and handcrafted surfaces. The result is an interplay of old and new that captures the essence of contemporary London living while preserving the enduring character of its architectural past.
Art Curation as the Soul of the Design
At the heart of this residential project lies a carefully developed art curation narrative. Each piece of the client’s art collection was displayed to highlight the art and work cohesively within each space, alongside enhancing the apartment’s spatial rhythm and emotional atmosphere. Through strategic placement and careful lighting, the artwork became an intrinsic design element rather than solely decoration, creating a dialogue between the interior architecture and the client’s personality identity. This thoughtful approach reflects WOOLF’s belief that luxury interior design extends beyond aesthetics, it is a holistic expression of culture, art, and refined taste.
Infusing Vintage Character into Modern Luxury
WOOLF’s creative process embraces contrasts - soft with structured, light with dark, modern with vintage. In this contemporary Kings Cross apartment, subtle vintage pieces bring depth and individuality, while tailored lighting and accessories evoke a sense of timelessness. These layers lend character to the interiors, ensuring the space feels lived in yet distinguished. This seamless blending of eras exemplifies WOOLF talent for crafting homes with enduring emotional resonance.
Transforming London Apartments into Bespoke Works of Art
The Contemporary apartment is more than a home—it is a design statement by WOOLF, redefining the possibilities of modern living within listed buildings in London. Every detail, from the architectural framework to the final styling, speaks of craftsmanship, artistry, and a deep understanding of how people live and feel within a space. For discerning clients seeking to create their own contemporary apartment or to transform a historic property WOOLF offers a bespoke service rooted in expertise, discretion, and design excellence.
