Sculptural simplicity in Notting Hill
Clean lines and authentic materials create quiet balance in Dubai and London.
London-based Alix Lawson, in collaboration with De Rossee Sa Architects, created a contemporary family oasis in a 3,500 square foot property in Notting Hill.

Clean lines and subtle textural transitions provide an aura of sophistication and elegance to the minimal interior while providing the perfect canvas for showcasing an extensive art collection. Furnishings inspired by Japanese and mid-century Scandinavian design create warmth, character and serenity for family living.
Lawson expressed her thoughtful design ethos in this region when she designed a 33,000 square foot home in Dubai Hills. Here, she fused contemporary design and the desert landscape to lead the trend towards quiet minimalism. She designed nor only the interiors, but also most of the furnishings and lighting.
The neutral Silk Georgette Stone from Salvatori gives the spacious bath a relaxing retreat.
