An abundance of bright hues and recycled materials were used by London studio Office S&M to renovate a Georgian townhouse in Islington.
The Mo-tel House project involved remodelling the lower ground floor of a home owned by the founder of online fashion rental service On Loan and her family.
The company promotes reusing garments rather than buying new, so the architects took a similar approach when selecting materials for the renovation.
These include melted, discarded milk bottles and chopping boards for bathroom counters; leftover marble chips for kitchen worktops; and crushed bricks for ceramic pendant lamps.
“Mo-tel challenged us to see reuse as a design tool for bold new ideas, and we found value and opportunities in materials that would otherwise have been overlooked,” said Office S&M founding partner Catrina Stewart.
