NOTTING HILL GATE
An open-plan residential living space featuring exposed timber roof trusses, integrated uplighting, and a vaulted ceiling that amplifies natural light.
- What we like about this project
- Concealed LED strip lighting set into the top of the timber beams creates a floating ceiling effect.

- Generous residential scale with a high vaulted ceiling and comfortable multi-person seating arrangements.
- Lighting
- A combination of soft daylight from skylights and punched windows, supplemented by integrated warm uplighting along the timber trusses.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, welcoming, and luminously airy due to layered natural and indirect artificial lighting.
- Environmental context
- Interior domestic setting with exterior brickwork visible through the lower punched windows.
- Spatial experience
- A warm, voluminous living area that feels grounded yet bright thanks to overhead natural light and expansive floor layouts.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating wooden truss bays establish a steady longitudinal rhythm down the length of the space.
