I had to share another Shoot Factory location home with you (this one is a Georgian 3 bedroom 1 bathroom in London) because this also tugs at my heartstrings for being so effortlessly casual and cool, with a basic vintage vibe and not being so “trendy” like the previous one.

Their approach focused on reimagining the flow within the house to achieve simplicity and clarity. The long great room was partitioned into distinct kitchen and living areas, cleverly connected by a two-sided fireplace clad in earthy glazed brick. Responding to the clients’ request ..read more
