Description
Tucked away in a secure private courtyard in Kensal Rise was featured on the front cover of Elle Decoration in recognition of its exceptional design. Its bold exterior is marked by textured brickwork and striking charcoal-framed windows. Stepping inside, the open-plan ground floor unfolds with smooth micro cement and travertine floors that connect the living spaces, creating a fluid backdrop for bespoke joinery and curated finishes. In the kitchen, top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances include a steam oven and a built-in coffee machine. Black steel splashbacks and warm cherry wood cabinetry create a dramatic contrast, further enhanced by the natural light that pours in from a large skylight and expansive windows. In the living area, a black steel wall houses a gas fireplace, complemented by custom travertine shelving and a glass-fronted Gaggenau wine fridge. This inviting space is perfect for entertaining with integrated Bang & Olufsen speakers and a dedicated dining area defined by a minimalist column.
