This London Home Is Proof That Architects Keep All the Good Stuff for Themselves
Dyer Grimes is one of the finest residential architecture firms in the UK. It should come as little surprise, then, that the company’s managing director John and his wife Jemima live in a resplendent London residence that manages to feel as warm and homey as it is tasteful.
Lush, perfectly manicured landscaping imbues the home with serious French countryside vibes, while the large first floor windows ensure that the outside has every opportunity to make its way in.
The kitchen’s sophisticated simplicity sets the tone for the rest of the home: it’s modern and mostly monochrome, save for a few fun pops of colour on the chairs.
A glass wall separates the lower level kitchen from the rest of the communal living areas, allowing the space to breathe and flow more fluidly.
The easygoing atmosphere continues into the living room, where a careful selection of vivid fabrics, art, flowers and even books helps to give the space a little extra oomph.
Floor-to-ceiling bookcases not only look stellar — they’ll serve as cold, hard proof to your guests that you’re exceedingly well-read. That’s a win-win, if you ask us.
