I
love natural light, photographing in new places and being away with a crew. But then I also love shooting interiors as a contrast; it’s lovely to be able to spend the time getting the shot right and not have the pressure of commercial and fashion shoots.’ Kate Martin’s passion for photography developed while she was working at her parents’ bookshop in New Zealand, where she would pore over magazines and photography books. Now based in London, she photo- graphed the art-filled, five-storey Georgian house of Lauren Gurvich King and her husband, restaurateur Jeremy King, seen from page 168.
WILLIAM SMALLEY Architect Describe where you live. ‘I live in a panelled Georgian flat in Blooms- bury. For a while, I had just one piece of furniture in each room – a chair, a bed and a chest of drawers – but more things have found a place over the years. I used to subscribe more readily to the Chinese proverb that you should let your lifeboat travel light, lest your possessions drown you. These days, I have a grand piano that I think would sink me.’ Most of us have a dream of what we’d do if we stepped away from routine life. But ask architect William Smalley what he would pursue besides his
own profession and he’d be lost. Not surprising, considering his start: ‘When I was 10, my village school headmaster bought me a copy of The Architectural Review because I spent all my time – especially football lessons – drawing houses.’ Today, his London-based practice is in full swing and is responsible for the St James’s flat featured from page 154. What’s your foolproof tip for lighting a room? ‘Never position a downlight overhead and always install a dimmer. The key to any interior is the lighting, but it should be there to make the environment or space work without you realising it.’
While she was training to be an architect at Bristol University, Sally Storey realised the significance The world’s most comfortable bed, hand made in London SALLY of lighting in a space and its power to transform STOREY a room instantly. ‘I started off with residential Lighting projects and that is still where my heart lies,’ she designer says of her beginnings. Then she met John Cullen of the eponymous lighting design firm, where she is now, two decades later, the director of design. For this issue’s ‘Design ideas’, Sally analyses the WORDS: ARTA GHANBARI lighting she has used in each room
