A flat on Edgedale Plains in high-gloss white and marble, with a crystal pendant over the dining table and not a handle in sight.

Every surface here is chosen to bounce light: polished marble flooring, lacquered white cabinetry to the ceiling, black glass splashbacks, and mirrored returns beside the dining area. The television sits on a floating white console against a full-height wall of dramatically veined stone, the one place the home allows pattern. The kitchen runs the full length of the service side in gloss white over a dark stone worktop, with the appliances built in and the upper cabinets handleless so the elevation stays unbroken. Dining is the social centre — a marble-topped table with high-backed upholstered chairs under a crystal pendant, set directly against the open kitchen counter. The bathroom repeats the mix at small scale, with a stone-clad wall behind the vanity, concealed lighting under the mirror and a frameless glass shower screen.
