6 0 P E R S P E C T I V E M AY / J U N E 2 0 2 5 ourselves into a specific architectural style or postcode. What mattered was contrast. From our very first location scout, we were focused on highlighting the visual and emotional distance between the protagonists—nothing quite conveys that more effectively than the postcodes they inhabit. Catherine's House – Notting Hill You'd think finding Catherine's new home would be relatively straightforward. Notting Hill has it all: everything from council flats to multi-million-pound townhouses. But this wasn't just about picking a pretty façade—we needed to understand why this couple was downsizing, and what that said about them. A wealthy and successful family, what is their reason for downsizing? Catherine and her partner are trying to help their son gain more independence, he needs his own life to form new friendships. Does this have a bearing on the size of the property we are looking for? Many hours of house hunting and location photography later, the design team finally gets out of the office to see potential locations, checking the sun path on the day of shoot, and photographing the location for ourselves. We always imagine the scenes in these spaces, hoping to evoke a positive response from the director and DPs. One of the keys to finding the right house, apart from architectural style, is the position of the sun's movement at the time of year the shoot would take place. Sounds simple! Hopefully, the schedule would hold… Looking back on past productions with Stuart Craig, dragging up memories of properties scouted for The Avengers, 1998, some spectacular homes in Chelsea, Regents Park and Fitzrovia, an idea formed for the design of the downstairs—you have to start somewhere! A double height space for the living room with a balcony, landing outside the master bedroom, this then would lead to the staircase running to the top of the house, to the guest bedroom. And what would I like if I had the money, yes, a glass-walled kitchen at the rear of the set... This sounds like a simple process, but it wasn't.
