Behind the stately façade of their London-flat lies a space that has borne witness to more than twenty years of living, loving, collecting and entertaining. Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen moved into their Westminster apartment in 2003, leaving behind their Chelsea maisonette, and from the very beginning set out to transform it—not only structurally, but atmospherically.

When they arrived, the flat needed work: walls came down, rooms were reconfigured. Originally a five-bedroom apartment, it was pared back to just two bedrooms, freeing up generous space for large reception rooms and a separate dining room. The goal? To house their growing art collection, host friends and dinners, and adapt the home to their changing moods and companions.
