Olga Ashby Interiors - The City Sanctuary

Project Description:

This meditative London apartment, designed by Olga Ashby, blends sophistication and simplicity through its fluid, curvy design and earthy, neutral palette. Originally a plain open-plan cube, it was transformed into a serene inner-city sanctuary using natural materials like wood, linen, and micro-cement. Curves and arches throughout the space create a calming, harmonious atmosphere, with features like circular mirrors and bespoke furniture enhancing the flow. Every detail, from vintage artefacts to sustainably sourced décor, contributes to a space that feels like a peaceful refuge in the city's heart.

The Shoot:

Working with Olga, my first interior design client and now a dear friend has been an incredible journey, and this project marked a significant milestone for both of us. The shoot was a multi-day effort where we carefully crafted each shot and video to perfection, capturing the true essence of her design vision. The project went viral and resurfaced online for over two years, even landing us features in major magazines worldwide, including print covers for Elle Decoration and AD. Our close collaboration, built on a deep, almost wordless understanding, made this a true success story.
