Cool concrete

The bright glass-ceilinged atrium to the side of the building houses a concrete staircase – Concreations can produce something similar. Teamed with the distressed pink walls, the concrete lends the interior a raw, industrial aesthetic that’s enhanced by a factory-style pendant light (try Trainspotters). Stockist details on p290

Vintage vibe

The apartment is furnished with wood furniture and well-worn vintage finds. The armchair in the bedroom ( below) is a mid-century piece bought from Ebay (try Lovely & Co for vintage seating). It rests in front of a steel-framed window that fills the space with light (consider Crittall for a similar look). An Anglepoise wall light, placed above the bed, negates the need for bedside cabinets. The bedding is by Calvin Klein Stockist details on p290
