Portland Square, Bristol

Bespoke Interiors for a Contemporary Apartment

Designing for Function & Aesthetic

Young & Norgate were appointed to design and create bespoke furniture for a newly renovated apartment overlooking Portman Square in Bristol. The client desired a modern, minimalist space that was highly functional yet aesthetically pleasing. The goal was to enhance the apartment's contemporary style with pieces that not only served a practical purpose but also aligned with the overall design vision.

"They are a great business to deal with. Honest, creative and they delivered what they said they would do.”

Tailored Solutions for Modern Living

To meet the client's needs, we crafted a series of freestanding and fitted furniture pieces that perfectly integrated into the space, creating a cohesive and functional environment.

In the living area, we designed a striking floating media unit that spans 4.5 metres. This piece was carefully crafted to house books and AV equipment, while also featuring an integrated filing system and cable management, ensuring a clean, uncluttered look. Its minimalist design makes a bold statement while remaining subtle enough to blend seamlessly with the modern decor.

The dining area features a solid walnut extendable dining table designed to seat up to 16 people, making it ideal for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. We paired this table with upholstered bench seating that complements the table's clean, contemporary lines. The rich warmth of the walnut wood provides a striking contrast to the apartment's sleek, minimalist aesthetic.

In the kitchen, bespoke cabinetry was created to serve dual purposes: providing additional prep space while offering ample storage. The cabinets were designed with specialised compartments for cooking utensils, wine storage, and waste, ensuring that the space was both functional and elegant.

Finally, in the hallway, we designed a fitted wall unit skinned in Forbo, offering practical storage for footwear, jackets, keys, and essential cleaning items. The unit's minimalist design fits perfectly with the overall aesthetic, ensuring that every space in the apartment feels thoughtfully curated and connected to the whole design.

Our Expertise

Throughout the project, our team worked closely with the client to refine the design, ensuring that every piece was tailored to meet their needs and desires. From initial concept development to the final installation, our skilled craftsmen paid attention to every detail, ensuring that each piece was both functional and beautifully crafted.

With a careful selection of materials, thoughtful design, and precision craftsmanship, we were able to bring the client's vision to life, creating a modern, minimalist home that is both stylish and practical. The result is an apartment that is a true reflection of the client's lifestyle, seamlessly blending form and function in every space.
