Farmhouse in the City

A LISTED FIRE STATION CONVERSION IN VICTORIA, SW1

This Edwardian fire station was restored and redeveloped into award-winning Grade II listed homes. Studio L London acted as Creative Director for the conversion.

For the launch, Studio L was commissioned to design one-of-a-kind interiors for three showcase residences. This particular apartment—the only one set within the original, characterful fire station—received an interior best described as “Granny Chic,” brought to life through a fun narrative. Studio L imagined  if  “Sex and the City” writer Carrie Bradshaw moving to London and seeking a home that fused English countryside charm with the intellectual bohemia of the iconic Bloomsbury Group.  

The design layers dimensional materials, one‑off vintage finds, family heirlooms, and upcycled pieces. Nature motifs nod to the English countryside, alongside subtle references to the client’s Far Eastern heritage. Bespoke furniture and custom rugs from Studio L anchor the space.

The result: cosy, sophisticated, and deeply personal.
