For East Side Residence, Legeard Studio turned a three-bedroom family apartment into a cohesive, inviting home through cosmetic updates and one structural move: opening the kitchen and foyer to the main living spaces. Behind that restraint sits a record of more than 240 selections, kept current in Programa from specification to installation.
The design is guided by warmth and restraint. A layered palette and carefully selected furnishings create depth without overwhelming the architecture, and lighting is used to shape atmosphere and mark key moments through the home.
Each room holds its own note. Timber panelling and brass light the principal bedroom. A second bedroom sits in deep green. Plum walls carry from the cinema room into the powder room, where a slim twin sconce doubles itself in the mirror. In the living room, pale seating rests on a dark ribbed rug in front of full-height windows.
Quiet rooms are exposed rooms. When nothing is loud, an off finish or a wrong sheen has nowhere to hide. The calm in these photographs depends on hundreds of small decisions holding all the way to installation.
That is the part a client never sees, and the reason this feature looks at the working record as closely as the finished rooms.
