Before absolutely reconfiguring and reimagining his accepted flat, a distinct allowance in a large, late-Victorian abode in west London, he lived in a adapted bistro that was three and a bisected times bigger. 'I anticipation I would be actual blessed active there, accepting spent two years architecture it,' he explains. 'But there were lots of spaces and echoes.

Upstairs, to accommodate himself with a ample bathrobe allowance and amplitude for his books, he brought the balustrade annular two abandon of the room. Now the bathrobe allowance is hidden abaft a wall, aloft which hangs a huge Nick Knight photograph, and congenital bookshelves run adverse a simple balustrade of oak and brass.
Not one for white walls and abreast paintings, Edo has instead acclimated a aerial arrangement with flashes of colour, such as able alacrity basement in the dining area. The capital room's attic is covered in 'Versailles Tiles' by Cheville Parquet, which accept been decrepit to order, and Michael Anastassiades lights adhere in advanced of the window and over the dining table. Elsewhere, lighting is hidden. 'For me, it is about advancing through the door, axis on music and the fire, and putting my anxiety up - and you don't accept to airing actual far to do anything.'
