Take a tour of legendary stage designer Es Devlin's stunning London home:
. “Our dialogue is very precious to me,” Ghesquière says. “Es is a real storyteller and knows how to create a world that stands on its own.”The defining image of the world she has created with her husband, the theatrical costume designer Jack Galloway, 53, and their daughter, Ry, 11, and son, Ludo, 8, is their glorious garden.
Her family home also contains two studios: one for Devlin’s six-strong team, the other for Galloway’s. The couple bought the property in 2016, having decided to move closer to their kids’ schools from the old paint factory that they had bought as a wreck in 2000. “I didn’t understand this house at first,” Devlin recalls. “It was all little rooms and chintz wallpaper. I walked out and said, ‘Thank God we don’t have to live anywhere like that.’ And Jack said, ‘You’re missing the point, Es.
The house was gutted, turning the “little rooms” into fewer, bigger ones. Devlin sketched the new layout of the house and its contents, which were drawn in detail by her design team and fabricated by local artisans. Much of the furniture and the floors are made from Douglas fir planks like those she and Galloway had admired in the interiors of the British designer John Pawson.
Devlin grew up on England’s south coast with her three siblings. Her mother is a teacher, and her father an education journalist. “I loved reading, drawing, and making things on the floor by sticking bits of cardboard together,” says the designer, who studied English literature at Bristol University and spent a year at Central Saint Martins art school before deciding to focus on stage design.
Devlin had found a field that combined her passions for art, literature, and bringing things to life. After completing the course in 1995, she worked in indie theaters like the Bush, in London, creating extraordinary sets on shoestring budgets, largely by building most of them herself. She seemed poised for a stellar design career in the performing arts until Poots persuaded her to create the stage set for a concert by the British post-punk band Wire in 2003.
