A Method of living
A Project By: Open Volume Studio
Location: Notting Hill
Flat A of a group of apartments we recently completed above The Method wellness space
The project focuses on shaping natural materials like wood and marble into clean structured details that mimick the historic fabric of the local area within the built environment, whilst playing with the contemporary creative culture occupying it today.
The ceiling is layered with detailed lighting and stepped heights to separate zones, whilst keeping the open plan traversable. Visual intrigue is expressed through varying texture and patterns found in nature, particularily through the use of Arte’s hand woven wallpaper made of paper thread and banana leaf, a detail that speaks to a wider sensitivity within the built environment towards natural, tactile materials.
Natural and bespoke elements were vital when linking the project to the Method club below, which focuses on tailored wellness therapies for the recovery of mind and body, reflecting how considered design within the built environment can support wellbeing as much as aesthetics.
