Longevity London: Interiors Designed for Healthspan
The longevity London offers its residents is decided less in clinics than in rooms: like most urban populations, Londoners spend roughly 90% of their time indoors (Klepeis, 2001). Sabina Malikova Design Office — with a studio office at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden — brings Longevity by Design to UK commissions: four measurable pillars covering circadian light, air quality, acoustics and biophilia. Projects are led from the Ankara headquarters and delivered through a remote-plus-site-visit model already proven on Longevity Rooms Frankfurt.
A Covent Garden base, a tested delivery model
The studio office at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, WC2H 9JQ is the UK point of contact for Sabina Malikova Design Office, founded in 2017 and headquartered at NeXT Level, Cankaya, Ankara, with a third office in Baku. UK commissions follow the same model that delivered Longevity Rooms Frankfurt from Ankara: concept, documentation and supplier coordination run remotely, with scheduled London site visits at survey, mid-build and handover. The studio's portfolio spans 19+ documented projects across Turkiye, the UK, Germany and Azerbaijan, and London commissions are currently open.
Why London housing works against healthspan
Much of London's residential stock predates mechanical ventilation, and typical central-London PM2.5 concentrations sit above the WHO 2021 annual guideline of 5 ug/m3 — relevant because IARC classified outdoor air pollution as a Group 1 carcinogen in 2013. Night-time traffic noise in many boroughs exceeds the WHO Europe 2018 guidance that informs the studio's sub-55 dB target, and short winter daylight compresses circadian light exposure. The WHO estimated in 2016 that roughly 1 in 4 deaths worldwide is linked to environmental factors. These are design problems with measurable design answers.
Four measurable pillars, not wellness styling
Longevity by Design — launched as the opening keynote of The Longevity Show Ankara on 13 June 2026, with a Frankfurt keynote following 4-5 September 2026 — sets numeric thresholds: CLCI circadian lighting at 4000-5000K by day and 2200-2700K in the evening (Figueiro et al., J Clinical Sleep Medicine, 2020, recorded roughly one-third higher sleep-quality scores in an RCT); BCS with at least 3 natural elements per space (Hunter et al., 2019: cortisol around -21% per hour in nature); IAQM via HEPA-13 filtration with MVHR holding PM2.5 below 5 ug/m3; and AHR below 55 dB. Studio project data: an Ankara 240m2 residence recorded sleep +38% in 2025.
Frequently asked questions
What does longevity London mean in interior design?
It means designing rooms to measurable health thresholds rather than styling trends. The studio's Longevity by Design framework sets four numeric pillars: circadian lighting (4000-5000K day, 2200-2700K evening), at least 3 natural elements per space, HEPA-13 plus MVHR air holding PM2.5 below 5 ug/m3, and acoustics under 55 dB.
Does Sabina Malikova Design Office have a London office?
Yes. The studio office is at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ. Design direction runs from the Ankara headquarters, with London used for client meetings and scheduled site visits during UK commissions.
How are London projects delivered if the headquarters is in Ankara?
Through a remote-plus-site-visit model: concept, drawings and supplier coordination are handled from Ankara, with in-person visits at survey, mid-build and handover. The same model delivered Longevity Rooms Frankfurt from Ankara. London commissions are currently open; documented outcomes from completed projects elsewhere are available on request.
