Steal This Look: An East-Meets-West Loft in London

May 3, 2016

Zoe Chan and Merlin Eayrs of London-based design/development firm Chan + Eayrs call their development projects “House Couture.”

“Every step is carefully choreographed, from selecting the site to choosing the antiques,” they say. Combining “British vernacular architecture with the light and volume found in Japanese homes,” their singular compositions are furnished with a mix of vintage and modern furniture. Here’s a look at their most recent project, the New Cross Lofts in southeast London, as we dissect the elements that make the project so appealing.
