Designer Tabitha Organ combined natural materials with metal details to transform this London townhouse into a home with a "slightly futuristic" feel for a client who loves entertaining.
The five-storey property on St Pauls Road had recently been renovated by a developer using poor-quality finishes, so the client ? a young tech entrepreneur and first-time homeowner ? asked Organ's studio Tabitha Isobel to create a more bespoke interior.
The brief called for a scheme that retains the Victorian house's original features, whilst layering vintage pieces and contemporary design to create spaces with a distinct character.

"The client wanted a home that would be surprising and bold but also timeless," Organ told Dezeen. "Amongst his peers, he is a frequent host of parties so he wanted an interior that would be a backdrop to these and bring a certain entertaining 'vibe'." Some of the original details that survived the previous renovation included detailed mouldings and the wooden window shutters in the living areas.
Organ sought to emphasise these elements by introducing a carefully chosen palette of complementary colours and materials. Other spaces received a more expressive treatment, including the golden-toned cinema and DJ room in the basement.
