Clapham House Blacksheep Design Bachelor Pad with Emphasis on Hidden Storage
Blacksheep were commissioned by a private bachelor client, who had just purchased a traditional, four-storey Victorian townhouse in Clapham, south London, to create a more contemporary interior for the home, with extensive AV facilities and newly-appointed rooms, including a cinema area, study/games room and enlarged master ensuite bedroom.

The brief for the project was to use bespoke joinery to create rooms with discreet or even completely hidden storage (with a complete ban on open shelving!), with hidden or integral AV and individual TV screens throughout the house, to be hidden where possible when not in use.

Doors were also to be re-hung to improve entry where needed.

Blacksheep also created bespoke furniture for the house where appropriate to meet the exact needs of the client.

On the lower ground level, the house is now comprised of a main kitchen area, new cinema room and dining room.

On the ground floor are the office area, formal living room and a games room.

The ensuite master bedroom (for which two existing bedrooms were knocked into one) is located on the first floor, along with a further guest room and bathroom, with two further double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a bathroom on the top floor.
