The building is located in the heart of the bustling Camden Town in Camden High Street and consists of a ground floor shop, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom apartments, as well as 2 maisonettes spread on two levels. The site is a long, narrow strip of land that on one side faces Camden High Street and on the other site a mews.
The shop is accessible from the High street, while the entrance to the flats is located at the end of the mews, through a cosy courtyard. The project included the restoration of the ground floor store, the refurbishment and extension of the building above and a brand new building towards the mews, which connects to the existing building through a communal courtyard on the first level.

The former site and building known as "White Art Shop", used to belong to a local artist.
Surrounded by the extravagant ornamental shops of Camden, the aim of the design was to create minimal black and white spaces, in tune to the color palette of the artist's work,

White , off-white and grey colors are used across all surfaces, while the layouts of the flats are linear with large window openings allowing as much daylight as possible.
