New Project: Hanover Square
Nestled in the heart of London, a stone's throw from where fashion meets art and contemporary architecture, lies our latest interior design masterpiece: a luxury private residence brought to life in collaboration with the prestigious Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. This project embodies the essence of Studio Miaki's design philosophy, where every space tells a unique story, and each room becomes a canvas for artistic expression.
Join us on a journey through the creative process, inspiration, and the fusion of materials, colors, and artistry. But that's not all - step behind the scenes as we engage in an insightful interview with one of the brilliant designers behind this extraordinary project.
Design Concept & Inspiration
Our design journey began with the very location itself, where the building's luxury, contemporary architecture stands as a testament to its place in one of London's most historic squares. We drew inspiration from the inlaid brick panels that grace the building, a nod to its rich surroundings. Here, fashion and art converge, setting the stage for a design concept that would integrate with the vibrant atmosphere of Hanover Square.
Materials, Colors & Textures
At the core of our design philosophy for this project was the idea of creating a flow throughout the apartment while allowing each room to have its distinct identity. We achieved this by striking a balance between high-spec luxury interior architecture, featuring a rich palette of materials such as marbles and polished chrome, and bold textiles infused with playful, abstract art.
Vivid accents of colourful fabrics and contrasting patterns breathe life into each space. The colour palette, inspired by the surrounding fashion boutiques and art galleries, reflects the dynamic spirit of Hanover Square. From walls adorned with statement art to patterned textiles and trims, every choice contributes to the vibrant atmosphere of this project.
