How we approach Angel interiors

Angel is one of the denser parts of Islington, with apartments above shops, period mansion blocks and converted Georgian houses. Space is limited, and the brief is often about making one room do two things: a desk that folds into a wall of storage, a wardrobe that also takes a washing machine, a living room that becomes a study at night.

We design to the millimetre because there is no spare room to hide an error. Every depth is checked against furniture layouts, and access is measured in case a sofa or bed has to be moved to install the joinery.

Site realities we design for

  • Dual-purpose rooms: desk by day, living room by evening
  • Shallow storage and full-height wardrobes for compact flats
  • Access measured before installation, including furniture moves
