Roof terrace
Arranged across the upper floors of a period property, this two-bedroom duplex is awash with contemporary design. Departing from its traditional 1870s exterior, interiors are playful with colour yet refined in feel. 

Inside, elements of mid-century modernism tie together two mesmerising floors. Over the home’s lower level, living spaces come imagined for connoisseurs of style. Drawing inspiration from Anaïs Nin’s LA residence by Eric Lloyd Wright, dusky Bauwerk Limewash envelops the walls and ceiling. A sense of calm is set in motion; sash windows open up the space and draw attention to myriad adornments, from a marble fireplace to artwork by Margaret R. Thompson. Just settle into the Eames chair, fire up the log burner and admire the surrounds.  

A continuation of the colour palette creates cohesion with a Nordic-style wooden kitchen, subtly set apart by a column. Keen cooks take note of the built-in double oven, integrated appliances and sleek stone worktops. Gather at the breakfast bar for morning coffees, or switch on the Murano glass lights overhead for a cosy atmosphere come evening. Tucked away to the rear of this floor, a study space can be utilised as an occasional bedroom.   

Thoughtful hues extend to the principal bedroom suite upstairs, carefully curated to instil a sense of calm. Breaking up the soothing beige backdrop, a black recessed hearth hosts a log burner; a captivating feature for London’s colder days. In warmer weather, convenient AC keeps things cool. Design takes a darker turn in the en suite bathroom, where black stone tiles create a dramatic backdrop for a rainfall shower. Muted pink tones envelop the guest bedroom, a pristine sleeping space flanked by bespoke wardrobes.  

Crowning the home, a hydraulic skylight lends access to split-level roof terrace – an exceptional alfresco living area for summer months.
