Simon Hamilton & Associates

With the arrival of Spring, we have been approached by past clients to update their properties. Repeat work is such a compliment so we are happy to oblige. This means our scope of work has broadened to include offices in Surrey, and Clerkenwell, apartments in Knightsbridge & Fitzrovia and houses in France and London. As the year unfolds, we will keep you updated so please check in this section in the coming months.

We were commissioned by a lively and sociable couple to design the Living and Dining areas of their apartment near Regents Park. With strict instructions to incorporate the clients' collection of art deco artefacts and original art, we were ready to rise to the challenge. Using a bold and warm colour palette including gold, burnt orange and chocolate, we created inviting and comfortable spaces for them to share and enjoy.  

Specifically appointed for our design flair by More 2 Ltd, we completed their office relocation from a Georgian property in Covent Garden to an industrial warehouse building in Southwark. By listening carefully to our clients, we managed to incorporate the colourful More 2 brand identity whilst providing an individual, workable and stimulating workplace environment. 

Working with the owners of The London Vision Clinic, we have created a fresh new feel in the Grade II listed Georgian terrace. Moving from a cramped space in Devonshire Place to Harley Street, provided significant benefits to staff and patients alike. We designed a padded leather and glass topped Reception Desk which was lovingly manufactured and installed by Opus Magnum. In addition, this extremely talented specialist joinery company, also produced a bespoke desk and matching closet to Professor Reinstein’s detailed requirements.

By selecting furniture from European Design Centre, B & B Italia and Herman Miller, we have given the spaces a modern feel whilst still recognising the need for comfort and privacy in this environment.

From the outset the design brief for this 2 bedroom central London apartment was to create light and airy spaces with a contemporary feel.  As the clients travel constantly we became accustomed to updating them in different time zones. The original layout was unchanged, but we seriously upgraded the sound and thermal insulation to enhance the privacy and sense of security. We carefully selected colourful furniture pieces from B & B Italia to give dramatic contrast to the neutral background. Whilst providing the clients with a modern urban retreat, we have maintained the essential elements similar to their country home.

A collaborative project designed in tandem with Daruma Design. We created 4 exclusive suites as part of the 947 Club brand. Located  moments form the infamous San Marco Square, a deliberately eclectic style was created within the listed 15th Century building. A mix of urban hardness coupled with soft velvets and warm leather with a nod to the Venetian heritage.

In collaboration with the creator of Soliloquy, Alastair Callender of Callender Designs and Jensen Interiors, we designed all the bespoke interior spaces of this revolutionary yacht design which is propelled by wind, solar and hybrid marine power. By carefully sourcing sustainable products, finishes and materials which have minimal environmental impact, we have maintained the integrity of this conceptual project. We specified a vibrant but sophisticated palette of colours and materials including bamboo flooring, coconut panelling, recycled plastic and organic cotton finished to exceed the high quality expectations of the proposed client.  Here we show some of the development sketches we produced for the design and the final finished renders of some key areas. This beautiful 58 metre vessel, along with a detailed scale model, has been exhibited at the Monaco, Abu Dhabi and Fort Lauderdale International Boat shows.

This apartment located in the heart of this highly creative area of London, was produced from the refurbishment of a Victorian loft, formerly a Fashion Live/Work studio. We converted the spaces to provide casually used accommodation including a Master Bedroom with En-suite Bathroom, Walk-in-Wardrobes, Guest Bedroom, Shower Room and a Living / Dining space for a city professional.
 Using a background of white walls and exposed brick, has provided spaces for the client’s growing art collection, as well as contrasting the roughness with the richly coloured soft furnishings.

Providing over 4,500 sq. ft. of bespoke living space, the project was programmed over a three year period. We were appointed as the Principal Interior Designers, leading the clients’ team of Project Managers, Structural Engineer, Quantity Surveyors and an Architect.

The imposing Victorian property in North London, required full refurbishment, with the inclusion of the latest Audio Visual technology for the Cinema Room, Formal entertaining areas and a substantial new Kitchen and Dining side extension.

Careful attention was paid to the quality of finishes and materials to ensure luxury was matched with practicality. A healthy mix of detailed bespoke furniture and lighting were complimented with off the shelf fittings, making this a genuine home rather than showhouse.

Set in one of France’s most beautiful villages, La Roque-Sur-Cèze, 45 minutes drive North of Avignon, this village house has become a long term project. We have completed the fourth and final interior design phase of work to transform the basement gîte into a self-contained studio apartment. This allows the owner to be close by to access and service the main house during the peak Summer months when the house is let on a weekly basis. This holiday home comfortably accommodates nine guests and it has three South facing outside terraces, new open-plan kitchen, a library, central and underfloor heating throughout, a landscaped garden and a new floodlit plunge pool.

The reorganising of the 4,000 sq. ft. space, required installing several sensitively designed windows and skylights, a new utility room, extra shower and bathrooms and other facilities on the various levels of this hillside dwelling. Now completed, 'Maison La Roque' has become the ultimate South of France country retreat.

For an Australian client investing in the London property market, we provided furniture and fittings in this perfectly located 1 bedroom apartment. With the Royal Opera House just a few steps away, the position couldn’t be better to enjoy all that Covent Garden has to offer.

The developer’s refurbishment, provided a palette of pale grey walls, oak floors, marble bathroom tiles and taupe kitchen units. To add some personality and accents to the muted tones, we used vivid purple, bright blues and splashes of orange in the scheme.

We were appointed to refurbish the Common parts of this Victorian Mansion block in one of Chelsea's best roads. Whilst acknowledging the architecture, the Main Entrance Lobby, two staircases and lift interior needed to reflect the high standard of the 24 apartments within the building. Working closely with the client and our Project Manager, we have totally transformed these areas with new lighting, fixtures and fittings in the Main Entrance and Stairwells. The security and safety standards were also significantly upgraded to meet current regulations. Residents and visitors are now welcomed into and pass through, a series of bright and elegant spaces.
