It is fair to say that this imaginatively eclectic yet practical home – from its 80s-style cabinetry to its beautiful original metal grilles, has created a narrative that carries through every room inspired by its owner.

The homeowner, a dedicated activist known for her work championing equality and justice for women, has set the tone with an interior that reflects her dynamic lifestyle.
