Chic Box-Shaped Architecture

LLI Design Offers a Modern House in London

— July 24, 2013 — Art & Design
LLI Design has created an inspirational, welcoming home in North London, with this 3000 square foot townhouse in Crouch End.

Making maximum use of the natural light, with its double height living space and floor to ceiling glazing, which opens onto the garden below, the house has a magnificent airy feel and exudes drama.

The key is in its internal arrangement: the living / kitchen / dining area and the formal living room above, form a flowing open plan space, which links upper and ground floor levels via a walnut feature staircase. A spiraling contemporary chandelier links the two levels visually to give the interior extra drama.

LLI Design incorporated comfortable well-scaled furniture, so that it wouldn't feel dwarfed by the large open space.

To contrast with all the white in the kitchen / dining area, the kitchen has a black central island, lacquered furniture and wire Bertoia dining chairs. The kitchen area also has views to the garden.

Sleek, large format tiles were used for all of the ground floor and extended to the outside terrace to visually extend the dining area and integrate the internal and external living spaces.
Trend Themes
1. Maximizing Natural Light - Opportunity for innovative architectural designs that prioritize capturing and utilizing natural light in homes and buildings.
2. Open Plan Living - Opportunity for interior design solutions that create flowing open plan spaces, connecting different levels and areas of a property.
3. Integrating Indoor and Outdoor Spaces - Opportunity for architectural and design solutions that seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor living spaces, blurring the boundaries between the two.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Interior Design - Innovative architectural and interior design firms can explore new approaches to maximize natural light, create open plan living spaces, and integrate indoor and outdoor areas in their projects.
2. Home Furnishings and Decor - Companies in the home furnishings and decor industry can cater to the growing demand for furniture and accessories that complement open plan living and offer seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.
3. Building Materials and Construction - Manufacturers and suppliers of building materials can develop products that optimize natural light, facilitate open plan designs, and provide durable solutions for integrating indoor and outdoor environments.
