St James’ Private Apartment

piccadilly circus London

A stunning apartment with a challenging design brief of a gentlemen's club with particular consideration to dark surfaces, private atmosphere and tactility. It had very little natural light ingress so as much as the brief was moody we needed to allow for light bright scenes when they are needed.

The the entrance hallway is split into 3 zones, consequently the new interior surfaces and finishes are darker than the previous, yet through illuminating the correct surfaces and accenting certain features we've achieved both drama and a comfortable level of light.

The lighting design to the bathrooms needed to contend with reflective surfaces including back painted glass features, by mocking-up every concealed detail we have mitigated any direct views into the light fixture itself, a comfortable soft glow is achieved for transitional actions and a tasked based scene set when required.
