Hyde Park
Double dream.
Renovation and unification of two apartments in the heart of Hyde Park.
We are on the top floor of an ancient building, in the prestigious setting of Hyde Park. The union between two apartments gave life to a new architectural reality whose classic, elegant and refined style came to life thanks to the collaboration between Oro Bianco studio and the Simonetto team.

Aim of the project: to find the right balance between delicate elegance and refinement of British taste.


Entrance
The doors have a strong imprint, in high gloss treated dark Macassar Ebony. Their manufacture required consistent planning and execution skills: most of them have a curved architrave, with bevelled frames and glass. A particular feature is their fire resistance, in compliance with UK laws.
The wall panelling is out of a composition of tiles, parchment lined, with vertical and perimeter burnished brass trims. In the corridor Macassar Ebony panelling, frames and skirting. Some frames create backgrounds for the parchment tiles, others for the backlit decorative crystals.
Library, living and dining rooms
The library bookcases feature matt white lacquered outer structure, chalk effect, while the internal bodies in dark Macassar Ebony with high gloss varnish treatment. The dining room is clad with Ebony panels, while the full height tableware cabinet doors are clad with bevelled mirrors.
Master bedroom
The doors leading to the room are in dark Macassar Ebony treated in a high gloss finish. The wardrobes take up the same material and the trellis design embellish the bronze mirror doors. The master bed in South American Rosewood has a padded headboard upholstered in quilted silk. A hidden door, whose design integrates into the cabinet doors, grants access to the bathroom.
Guest bedroom N°1
Bed and bedside tables bespoke in South American Rosewood, dark stained and treated with high gloss varnish. With tapered frames and custom bronze handles. The chalk-like varnished wardrobes complete the look of the room.
Guest bedroom N°2
The wardrobe with integrated television is made of Macassar dark Ebony, treated open-grain glossy varnished, like an antique piece of furniture.
Top floor apartment
The room main character: full-height panelling made of black Macassar Ebony in a high gloss varnish, decorated with burnished brass trims and enriched with the application of silver leaf decorative mirrors. The Ebony panelling also covers entirely the windows intrados and incorporates the air conditioning system. The living room leads to the bedroom treated with dark-stained South American Rosewood, all bespoke.
Activities
Among the many skills required for the fulfilment of this project, we underline our ability in polishing the Macassar Ebony with crystalline varnish through an open-grain treatment. The result having a classic flavour despite the modern context. The processing in our workshop of the curved architrave doors required high skills in designing and manufacturing their components.
