Penthouse refurbishment, Kensington

Client: Ramses Frederickx
Product: Bespoke Cement Encaustic Tiles

Interior architect Ramses Frederickx came to us looking for encaustic kitchen floor tiles for a penthouse flat in Kensington. 

The penthouse flows across the top three floors of a listed Georgian building, with an open plan kitchen and living room at the top. Ramses won permission to raise the roof and build a roof terrace with a miniature garden and giant planters. Long skylights were installed across the breadth of the ceiling. “The client wanted characterful fixtures and fittings,” Ramses recalls. “We decided on a bespoke kitchen from Siematic and then he came up with the idea for a patchwork floor. He wanted something more natural-looking to complement the glossy units. We must have called every tile shop in London but no one had what we wanted - until we found Alhambra!
