Baxter describes her days as ‘hectic and varied’ and we can see why with current projects including a new build detached house in Bromley, a basement flat in Holland Park, a kit-house in Chorley Wood, a refurbished town house in Hampstead and a spa in Cornwall. And next on the agenda is a Victorian townhouse in Victoria, a restaurant in Surrey and a new build property on the beach in Miami!
We asked Sian to talk us through one of her favourite projects to date, to show just how integral well thought out and executed lighting is to any scheme and how it can completely take it to the next level.
Detached Period Townhouse in London
Size: over 12000 sq. feet
Brief: It was to be refurbished and completely rewired. A company that was developing it and marketing it to the elite market place carried out the refurbishment. There was no ultimate client but the feel had to be soft contemporary (with some more traditional elements), plush and striking.
The Scheme: I wanted to emphasise the space and the grandeur of the house. It had huge, tall and wide doors everywhere so I highlighted them, but recessing up-lights.
