A graceful London apartment has been converted into an exhibition space – and a place to think – for this creative couple
This Notting Hill apartment is where it all began for designer Anna Burles and her husband Christopher Trotman. It is where they launched their design studio, Run for the Hills, sitting at their dining table in the front room. Over the years, as their company has grown and expanded to include branding, they gradually moved to a workshop nearby and bought a cottage, where they live with their two young children, Margot and Frank. But they have always had a soft spot for the apartment, even after renting it out for many years, and recently decided to redesign it as a showcase and gallery.
