Piercy&Co Transforms London Apartment into Living Gallery and Design Lab
Piercy&Co, an architectural firm based in London, has introduced Apartment 21 in Kentish Town, a one-bedroom space intended as both a private gallery and a guest residence. This unit is situated in a former technical college from the 1930s, which was purchased by founder Stuart Piercy from a gallerist. Collaborating with Fiona Neil, the design emphasizes hosting and collaboration, featuring a dark corridor, a curved wall, and a circular cutout in a wooden partition crafted by Benchmark. The apartment is adorned with custom furnishings made from British ash and elm, complemented by wool rugs and linen curtains. Piercy emphasizes the significance of connection in design, while Neil describes the project as 'forever in the concept phase,' with a focus on neuroaesthetics.
