{This one’s kinda has a rough-around-the-edges charm to it, with really strong traditional architectural elements that I appreciate.}Patrick Williams’ 1850s East London apartment had “laminate flooring, recessed halogens, and cheap and nasty radiators"—until he took over. "It was your typical nineties developer rubbish,” he tells us. “I am feeling rather sick thinking about it.” A devotee of the Arts & Crafts movement’s built-to-last philosophy and an avid salvage hunter-upcycler-philosopher, Williams runs Berdoulat, a design-build firm that takes its name from the old French farmhouse he watched his parents restore throughout his childhood.After studying fine art at Oxford, Williams worked on a series of remodels himself and went on to found his own firm. His two-bedroom flat is a showcase of the Berdoulat approach: “What drives us is not purely a conservative nostalgia, but a love of truth and a dedication to the creation of beautiful, unique, well-crafted products,” he writes in the company manifesto.via -- source link
