Unexpectedly Contemporary Homes

The Lady Peel House by RZLBD Pays Tribute to Beatrice Lillie

The Lady Peel House is a stunning example of how people can turn something old into some new in a very unexpected way. Over a century old, the original facade of the residence can be considered very average. Yet inside is a completely different story. With exposed brick, rich wood floors and white everywhere else, the Lady Peel House is an airy loft that does justice to its inspiration.

Created with a famous 40s actress and comedienne in mind, Beatrice Lillie, the Lady Peel House is full of light and personality. Although on the small side, especially when it comes to its narrow dimensions, the home comes across as quite large. This is due in part to styling as well as ambiance.
