Belgravia Townhouse

Belgravia Townhouse is a minimalist townhouse located in London, United Kingdom, designed by State of Craft. State of Craft played a pivotal role in the interior design process, collaborating closely with the architects. Their involvement ranged from spatial layouts to the seamless integration of structural elements, utilities, and lighting. The partnership extended to selecting furnishings and curating artwork, in conjunction with Richeldis Fine Arts, to enhance the aesthetic and functional qualities of the living spaces. The design draws inspiration from London’s garden squares, embodying the concept of “rus in urbe” or “countryside in the city,” which brings a sense of serenity and greenery into the urban environment. This concept informed the choice of a subdued material palette, emphasizing calm tones and natural textures, contributing to a peaceful atmosphere throughout the home.

The renovation provided an opportunity to reflect the homeowners’ appreciation for British modernism, contemporary art, and bespoke European design. The property showcases an impressive collection of artworks by notable artists such as Richard Serra, Ben Nicholson, and a selection of contemporary pieces by both established and up-and-coming artists. This collection creates a dialogue between classical and modern elements, characterized by a focus on monochrome abstract minimalism and a rich variety of materials. The concept of “Gesamtkunstwerk,” or a total work of art, guided the approach to the interior design, treating all components of the space—from custom furniture to selected decorative items—as integral to a cohesive aesthetic vision. State of Craft’s commitment to custom design extended to the creation of unique furniture pieces and built-in elements, crafted in collaboration with some of England’s most skilled artisans.
