What was once a dilapidated warehouse in central London is now home to this designer and artist’s office and studio. And with precious little outdoor space, Ian turned a terrace and narrow courtyard into two separate spaces, cleverly planted with plants inspired by British woodlands. The effect is a calm and stylish refuge from the city.
On the upper level, a dense thicket of trees offers a natural screen from the city
The lower level with moss and birch offers a calm space to step away from work
Hidden uplights add shadows and textures after dark
Nantawan’s treasured baskets, lanterns and pots are full of memories
Nantawan’s traditional Thai hut is a favourite place to relax
