Jamie Norton’s Apartment by Atmos Studio

Studio has transformed the cramped North London apartment of musician Jamie Norton into space that can be enjoyed. The organic curves flow through the apartment, integrating built in furniture in many places to take advantage of the limited space. Wood accents and a brick fireplace add wonderful accents to a white, minimal interior.

Alex Haw has made the most of utilizing this natural light which floods from the central staircase, and has assembled the architectural design of the house around the open stair. The staircase has been designed in such a manner that timber strands grow upwards towards the light, releasing dainty strands to frame each step, a single thin metallic line eloquently moves across the lines to offer the lightest of additional support to the hands that seek it. Spaces have been transformed in, around and about the stairs, as bathroom storage below or the underside of the desk above, whereas to the right steps support and spread out into various surfaces for the living room.

Furthermore, the lower steps in the living room area support a seat and a soft-spot, while the upper elements of the stairs flow around the living room with a sea of books and shelves. The stairs, the shelves, and the living room floor and ceiling have all followed an all white interior design scheme, apart from the brick fireplace which adds a contrasting element to this all white minimal design scheme. Shabby chic vintage furniture compliments the overall white background as it sets a dramatic tone to the minimal interior.

On the upper floor, the staircase continues with its stunning, playful and simple design to create lines that flow to form a desk and a shelving unit, as it covers within the blossomed out white floorplanks that conceal a bed within. At the bedroom the custom made furniture unveils itself to form a low table, flow our to a long courtyard storage bench, which slips back in as a bathroom counter, carved with a sunken bath.

The same surface unfolds itself in an organic manner to create all these forms; it seems as if the entire house is unified through this undulating piece.
