Bergman Design House - Royal Home At Albert Hall
Project Description:
This luxurious pied-à-terre in Knightsbridge, designed by Bergman Design House, reimagines the timeless elegance of Albert Hall Mansions, a Grade II-listed building by architect Richard Norman Shaw. Located steps from Royal Albert Hall, Hyde Park, and Kensington Palace, the three-bedroom apartment blends Victorian grandeur with modern sophistication, creating a serene retreat for its royal owners.
Designer Marie Soliman Berglund artfully balanced masculine and feminine elements, combining rich materials like Breccia Capraia marble and intricately patterned woodwork with bespoke lighting and contemporary interpretations of classic motifs. Deep royal blues, earthy tones, and textures like Sahara Noir marble architraves evoke a sense of regal calm while celebrating the building's 19th-century craftsmanship.
Highlights include a dining room with blue monolithic marquetry walls and a Fusion Explosion marble powder room that exudes drama. The master bedroom, a standout space, features a robust headboard, sculptural sconces, and serene views of Royal Albert Hall. The apartment is a stunning example of quiet luxury, merging history with the refinement of modern living.
The Shoot:
The shoot for this Knightsbridge pied-à-terre lasted two days, with one day dedicated to capturing still images and another to creating social media videos to complement the project's publications. Working with Marie Soliman Berglund is always a delight; her designs consistently push creative boundaries and exude luxury.
The photography seamlessly blended natural light with flash to ensure a consistent, polished look throughout the images. This approach highlighted the rich textures and depth of the design, bringing every detail to life in post-production. Shooting such a beautifully designed space was an absolute joy, and the refined aesthetic made it a truly memorable project to be part of.
