A Notting Hill Townhouse Artfully Transformed by Sadie Snelson

March 8, 2017

Spotted in the portfolio of London architect Sadie Snelson: an artfully restored period house in Notting Hill with an unexpected Scandi-style rooftop spa. We emailed Snelson to get the story. “The house is owned by a photographer and an artist/writer, who came to me with the brief of integrating modern elements into their period house,” she says. Snelson deployed Dinesen Douglas fir flooring throughout the house, added a bespoke kitchen with “furniture-like rather than fitted” elements, and worked with the clients to create a subtle palette of Papers & Paints neutrals throughout the interiors. Join us for a tour.

On the other side of the kitchen, a furniture-like counter is made of the same Dinesen wood as the flooring, “but without the lye soap finish, so that it’s a darker, pinker shade,” Snelson says.
