Tucked away in the heart of London, Chelsea House by OZA Design explores balance and harmony through every design element to create an urban refuge.OZA Design, a London-based architecture and design studio founded by architects Özge Öztürk and Alexandre Simeray, is a testament to their passion for creating distinctive design experiences by focusing on curation, craftsmanship, and culture.     

Chelsea House was originally built as a small outbuilding at the rear of the historic Cranley Gardens House and they have retained its rich history through thoughtful design to modernize the interior. There is no pretentious architectural detailing, no fake patina to shine, and every material comes in its raw appearance to enhance its natural beauty

The pied-à-terre harmoniously merges private and public spaces. The ground floor features communal living spaces, and the upper floor serves as both a private area and a secluded workspace; every space in the house seamlessly flows to create an inviting yet calm atmosphere. OZA Design deliberately removed all unnecessary doors and increased the size of the architraves to allow light to flood the space, creating a visible thread that connects each area.

The living area features carefully curated, custom-made furniture from their first design collection,‘Warrior’. The dining area features bespoke pieces, including an integrated wine cellar, sculptural charred oak plinths, and custom-patterned timber flooring–also designed by OZA Design.

A textural yet neutral palette plays to the soft and calm theme throughout. The light-filled living area features marble stone, travertine accents, and light oak timber flooring, as well as clay-clad walls in warm beige that initiate a considered interplay between form and texture.
