For Cécile & Boyd designer Paul van den Berg, this project – a 60-square-meter flat in London’s Pimlico neighborhood – was an exercise in duality. As both client and designer (Paul worked closely with his business partner Boyd Ferguson), he wasn’t just creating a home but also a base from which the South African design studio could easily access its growing list of British and European projects. ‘The flat needed to function as a comfortable home as well as a studio where we could meet clients and suppliers and do presentations,’ says Paul. ‘As such, it needed to represent our design aesthetic while keeping a close proximity to our work.’
