Highgate I

Duplex flat renovation

This beautifully considered extension into the garden enhances both space and flow, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. At its heart is an open-plan kitchen and living area, designed for modern living and effortless entertaining. A hidden larder sits discreetly behind a wallpapered bespoke joinery piece, adding a layer of surprise and craftsmanship. A cosy reading nook offers a quiet retreat, while a funky guest WC injects personality and charm. The staircase design acts as a sculptural feature, tying the spaces together and adding a strong architectural statement.

Testimonials

Laurence was very pleasant to work with. She renovated our old apartment in St John’s Wood and achieved what we envisaged how it would look like. Its amazing how things got done even during the lockdown and us not been in the country. Laurence was very articulate and quick to all queries on the emails which really put us at ease when its done remotely via emails and zoom calls. We highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again. We cannot wait to enjoy our pied de terre once M...

Laurence did a magnificent job and totally transformed our living space. Working with her was a real joy. The onboarding process meant that she totally understood what we were trying to achieve. She produced a design which was thoughtful and practical with some clever ideas to maximise the space. She devised a beautiful scheme with some lovely details. We are delighted with the results! Would highly recommend.

NICOLE GOSLING

It has been a pleasure working with Laurence. She has a wonderful ability to incorporate existing pieces and build from there, creating a cohesive design. She is knowledgeable, respectful of budget, and sources products accordingly. Laurence is not a “matchy-matchy” designer — the end result feels natural and lived-in rather than overly designed.

At short notice Laurence from Elemental Studio came over to assist me with styling our house. After refurbishing our Victorian Town house 4 years ago in a very open plan design we have never been happy with the style of the interiors, we felt like we had some nice pieces of furniture but they didn’t really hang together in a coherent story. We asked Laurence to help style the rooms in a way that would make each space feel like room with a purpose rather than a space we passed through. We wanted...

Laurence helped us find the right colours for our new home. She took the time to get to know our style and preferences and also included the children in the project. We particularly loved her suggestion to paint the room of our 10-yo in triangle-shaped patterns. We also loved the quirky wall paper options she suggested! Laurence sparked our imagination and brought our and her ideas together in a script that we handed over to the decorators. Although we haven't realised all decorations yet we n...

ROSALIE

Laurence helped us with the interior design of our new house - bottom up! She was a pleasure to work with. Her patience and understanding through the entire process were incredible. She was able to translate our fuzzy ideas into reality and guide us through the whole process. We liked her approach, starting from getting to know us and what we like. She has a wonderful sense of style, but we never felt she was overbearing; Laurence always took the lead from us, but every idea was more stylish on...

ASAF LEVY

We worked with Laurence to optimize the space in our flat and to renew our furniture to have a more consistent style. The result is amazing : the ambiance and the vibes changed radically, our place does feel like home now! Laurence had a real talent to understand what we wanted. She has an amazing eye and she is a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her!

ALEXANDRA ROCHE

There's so much to say about our experience with Laurence and Elemental Studio. First off we loved Laurence's style and vision. Importantly we knew from our first meeting that Laurence was listening to us in a way which others hadn't. The options she presented us with expanded beyond anything we could have possibly thought off but remained true to the discussions we had with Laurence. Throughout the process Laurence was ever present making sure that we did not have to get involved with every de...

From the architectural external shape of the building to commercial light fittings/kitchen/staircase design and sourcing/ I needed something different - ES was with me every step of the way. We are thrilled with the outcome!

SUE GREEN

Laurence is an absolute gem to work with. Her level of professionalism and patience is admirable. The spaces she puts together are both comfortable yet vibrant and unique.
