Combining the owners’ dual passions of music and cooking has created a unique entertaining space in this Leytonstone home.
Creating a new home for the owners’ extensive vinyl collection was at the heart of this brief.
A music room with sliding pocket doors sits immediately off the kitchen, enabling the space to be opened-up when hosting or completely sealed off for a more intimate listening experience.
The material palette is predominantly focused on natural materials with oak cabinet fronts and flooring. Cork is used to line the shelves, providing visual interest and enhancing the acoustic performance of the space.
Circles and arches are adopted as motifs throughout as a reference to the architecture of the building. A large circular oculus skylight is complemented by ambient wall lighting and task lighting integrated within the joinery.
