Collishaw has transformed an old pub to his studio and London flat, all in one, and the result is a charming home with a great working space on ground and basement floors, where he lives with his son Alex.

Mat Collishaw's House and Studio, London-Camberwell, 2012.

"....
Let’s talk about the house because we love interiors as you already know…
I didn’t do anything to the building myself but I got some builders to help. I just had to decide on things that stayed, like the organ and a few other things – everything else got ripped out and then I knocked the walls through because there was a big wall across, so it was kind of one big space. I stained the floor boards, retouched all the trimmings that were kind of fucked. Put all these little lights in the ceiling and put in a new fire place and took care of the old one. So I’m not practically keen on the aspect but it looks nice to have a house with the fire burning. It gives an amazing feeling because this is an old building.

It was totally run down when you first walked in?
Yeah there is a lot of imagination that went into this house, you know It was a pub before and then they used it as a photo studio for about ten years. So for example every wall had a different wallpaper because they were using it for shoots- the whole thing looked horrible.
