After I visited the gallery once, the exposed bricks and the multitude of posters stuck in my mind like some perpetual themes that link the rooms of the house together. Redesigned by architect Brian Muller in the 1980s, the building has a modern look behind the late-Victorian facade. It all started with his love for experimental movies. Keeping an eye on the cinematic effects and the dramatic layouts, he succeeded in creating the spell of the scene at home. The visitor is challenged to discover every room in a different set-up, without relying on a style or a trend: modern armchairs combine with traditional drawers, a marble table was installed near a wooden book stand, while a tree planted in the kitchen transgresses all the three floors. The ground floor is perfectly suited to entertaining, with a 35ft split-level reception room leading to an open-plan kitchen and dining area. The two upper floors contain the sleeping accommodation, with five bedrooms and three en-suite bathrooms.
