A Serene Ground-Floor Victorian Apartment in London

This light-colored apartment is located on the ground floor of a red-brick 19th-century apartment building in London. The terrace houses were originally built for the families of Metropolitan Police Officers in 1888; the doorways and window frames are painted in shades of deep blue and white as a tribute to the original owners.

The well-maintained building features many of its original Victorian elements, such as street lamps hanging over the doorway, and a shared outdoor space.

Inside, the 56-square-meter apartment also showcases original elements, such as doors and floorboards, which are now paired with bespoke joinery and reinstated paneling.
