Harry grew up in a small village in the
UK, and jokes that he was brought up
on a building site. “My family bought a
cinema and converted it into a house,
so we lived in a caravan for quite a
while. My dad finished the house after
18 years, and almost immediately sold
it – he now lives in the Cotswolds.
It was interesting growing up in that
environment.” Interesting, and also in
stark contrast to the contemporary
high-floor apartment they reside in now.
Veronika says that her family home
in Slovakia is quite “designed”. “My
parents love art and design, and would
buy paintings before buying furniture
or a television when I was young. My
classmates would ask if I’d seen the
latest show, and of course I hadn’t;
I could only stare at the art piled up
against the walls! As a child I didn’t
appreciate this ‘art education’, but I’m
so thankful now.”
For someone who describes her style
as modern, colourful and minimalist,
and who loves light, this apartment
is perfect. She agrees. “We love this
condo; the facilities and its services
are fantastic, and we wouldn’t move
anywhere else.”
