In the heart of Central London, near Buckingham Palace, lies the Carlton House Terrace – a 1970’s two-bedroom apartment that was thoroughly reconstructed for a Hong Kong-based family. Given their international background, their brief was to create a British feel for the property – from the furniture and accessories selection to the finishes all throughout the residence. The end result is a stunning home away from home for a client who has it all.

TG Studio was tasked with reimagining the apartment, transforming it to suit modern life. In order to convey the British feel that the client so desired, the studio chose a brand that reflected Britain’s rich history and cultural diversity: BRABBU. BRABBU’s pieces are inspired by nature and cultures of the world, having an intense sensory presence in every modern division.
A generous entrance foyer – styled with a mirror that reflects different views of the apartment and a sleek console table – separates the entertaining and private spaces, with the two large bedrooms sharing a secluded study area in the hallway. Previously separated rooms, the living and dining room were combined along with a bar area to create a large entertaining space for the family and their guests.
The entertaining area – which includes the new open-plan living and dining room – features a wine fridge and a leather-clad bar embellished with hand-hammered studs facing the main seating area. Behind the bar, counter stands a mirrored wall with brass bands, which grants the room added depth through its irregular geometric pattern.
GET THE LOOK – MALAY BAR CHAIR
It is next to this outstanding bar area that you will find the MALAY Bar Chairs. Their pine green colour gives a graceful touch with a mystical soul and fills the entire ambience with raw, natural energy while the delicateness of its velvet finish contrasts wonderfully with the ruggedness of the leather-clad bar.

Throughout the private spaces, such as the study and the bedrooms, warm tones were used in order to create a sense of comfort and cosiness – a sense that was amplified through the use of contrasting textures. Through the renewal of the master suite’s structure, TG Studio was allowed to create a new walk-in wardrobe in cedarwood, which serves as a stunning opulent detail in an already luxurious home.
In this same suite, sits the master bathroom: a calm and relaxed room featuring a double vanity with full-length mirrors, surrounded by edge-lit glass in British racing green. The second bedroom, the kids’ room, houses two bespoke double beds and marble-topped bedside tables, as well as a second ensuite bathroom with wood panelling all around.
