Sol de Arcilla
Sol de Arcilla (Clay Sun) is a 2 bedroom apartment refurbishment in Gibson Gardens, London, designed to create a warm, spacious and calm feeling home.
Terrazzo floor tiles containing recycled brick and slate aggregate from demolished Victorian terraced housing used in the kitchen and bathroom compliment a clay plaster Mondrian-inspired wall and a clay sun that continuously shines, creating a vibrant backdrop for a peaceful life.
The design sought to make the most of the small 52sqm space by reworking the kitchen and creating a statement focal point at the heart of the apartment.
Studio Merlin’s concept for the renovation was to bring the warmth of the yellow London stock and red brick’s of Gibson Gardens visible through the kitchen window back into the apartment itself.
Terrazzo floor tiles containing recycled brick and slate aggregate from demolished Victorian terraced housing used in the kitchen and bathroom compliment a clay plaster Mondrian-inspired wall and a clay sun that continuously shines, creating a vibrant backdrop for a peaceful life.
Through the introduction of warm pigmented natural clay plaster finishes, contemporary and playful details compliment an industrial material palette specific to the heritage building.
