Katie McCrum Studio

Based in London, Katie McCrum Studio crafts quiet workspace and bedroom interiors marked by continuous wrapping terrazzo, delicate linear steel profiles, and layered glass and mirror partitions that reflect light across contrasting textured surfaces. It provides a strong reference when specifying plaster and stone material junctions, detailing integrated headboard paneling for master suites, or deploying slim interior glazing to balance light and enclosure.
