Apart from the dining table, the international trade manager couple pretty much gave Tommy carte blanche, but they did express an aversion to “Japanesque or Scandinavian” styles.

This meant staying away from a light-coloured interior, which suited this particular apartment just fine.

“When I first visited the flat, I found the interior extremely bright because of the large windows and unblocked surroundings, so I proposed darker and warmer shades to help mitigate the glare,” says Tommy.

“Besides, the homeowners are whisky lovers, so a darker palette also adds to the whisky bar ambience,” he adds.

The result is an industrial-style home that combines influences from Lower Manhattan warehouse lofts with subtle hints of a whisky bar.

Tommy used pure white tiles to create a hyper sterile aesthetic that contrasts with the darker living spaces.

The experience that he was going for was one of “stepping into a sterile box at the end of a work day to wash away your tiredness and worries”.
