At Raffaello Fair Ltd, our passion lies in blending innovative architecture with bespoke interior design to create exceptional living spaces. Based in South London, our team—led by Milco RIBA architect and Luba as interior designer—specializes in renovations that maximize space, style, and value. One of our recent projects exemplifies this approach: a full renovation of a two-story flat aimed at achieving a warm industrial aesthetic.
Project Overview
• Project: Full flat renovation
• Goal: Enlarge the kitchen and create a warm industrial look
• Surface: 80m²
• Services: Space planning, staircase redesign, interior design, construction drawings, sourcing
The Client’s Needs
Referred to us by a colleague, the client had recently purchased a two-story flat but was dissatisfied with its layout. The kitchen felt too small, and poor acoustic insulation between the living area and study reduced comfort. After beginning the renovation with another firm, they turned to us for our expertise in renovation architecture, interior design, and joinery specification.
Our Solution
We reimagined the layout to create an expansive kitchen by removing a small toilet and introduced a stylish new bathroom and en-suite on the upper floor. A new, larger staircase with a custom wooden balustrade became a focal point, adding warmth and character. In the living area, we removed the dropped ceiling to expose a beautifully finished concrete slab, enhancing the industrial feel.
To resolve acoustic issues, we installed improved wall insulation between the living room and study. We also laid a wooden floor in the living area for added charm and a sisal carpet in the bedroom, complemented by a carefully curated colour palette to unify the space.
The Results
The flat now boasts a spacious, bespoke kitchen and a larger staircase with striking character. The living area’s warm industrial aesthetic blends seamlessly with the inviting upper-floor bathrooms. Despite a modest budget, our thoughtful design increased the home’s value and market appeal.
Our delighted client left a glowing review on our Google profile, reflecting their satisfaction with the transformation.
