Minimal in London

The Fulham House is a personal project by the architect, designer, and software development professional Daniel Lee. He renovated the London home for himself, his wife (photographer Emma Lee), and their two young children, turning the 19th century, 3,000-square-foot townhouse into their own private sanctuary.

Going for a distinctly English yet minimalist look, Lee honored the traditional brick facade while revising the interior with lighter materials such as wood by the Danish brand Dinesen. In the ground-level dining room, kitchen, and lounge, for instance, Lee opts for naturally finished oak wood floors and MDF walls that are painted in Flake White by Fired Earth.

The small dining area is positioned opposite the classic wooden stairs and railing. Family-sized and cleanly lined, the modern gathering place features Eero Saarinen’s signature oval Tulip Table, vintage wooden stools, and hanging lamp with a large black shade.
