Studio Space A have collaborated with the owner to revitalise a tired artist’s villa, bringing colour and intrigue to a dynamic family home. Astrid Zydower was a sculptress who lived in this London town house for decades. Using the front living space as her studio, she famously created the Orpheus piece at Harewood House. Known for hosting cosy roast lamb suppers amidst an assemblage of kitsch objects, she entertained friends in kooky style.
Astrid’s spirit was the inspiration for this 250 sqm house refurbishment. The owner needed a space for her family, space to work and space to entertain. With 3 stories and lofty ceiling heights, the house is ideal for multi personalities to coexist in undiluted charm. Space A worked on creating a fusion of mysterious moments in the house, curating it as a series of little and large doorways, arched tunnels, translucent voiles and bold colour combinations.( Published with Bowerbird).
