Ivanhoe Gallery

This project provides a versatile and minimalistic living space while simultaneously creating a gallery within which to gather artistic minds and showcase pieces of artwork. The space is liveable and practical yet also features flourishes of creativity which suit the client and the brief beautifully. Hidden picture rails recessed within ceilings and carefully placed lighting allow the space to be quickly converted from a domestic kitchen and living area into a gallery space. On a typical Victorian terraced plot in London, the perception of space and light has been created by utilising the full width of the plot and continuing a simple palette of materials from inside to outside. The brief originated from a couple who wanted to continue their family life in London, and by maximising the living space available through creative design there is now room to grow within the property.
