Set within the iconic Florain Court Art Deco building in Central London, this 24sqm/258sqft micro apartment is home to two artists seeking a peaceful contrast to their vibrant art studios. Working within the constraints of the building’s listed structure, Anna Parker of Intervention Architecture introduced inventive, space-saving joinery to create a flexible, functional home. Continuous pale plywood joinery, that draws on both Japanese and Art Deco influences, defines the apartment, concealing generous storage including a Murphy bed, a movable sofa and a flat-pack dining table. The bright blue kitchen adds a joyful pop of colour with integrated appliances and narrow counter and sink, while the compact bathroom channels a romantic Art Deco cabin, complete with blush pink tiles and a deep Japanese soaking tub.
