Crafted by renowned local studio Golborne 44, this two-bedroom duplex on bohemian Golborne Road pairs style and simplicity.
Moments from Trellick Tower, Ernő Goldfinger’s lasting
tribute to brutalism, a design-led home wears a similarly iconic look. Behind a
monochromatic white façade, this urban retreat is the pinnacle of inverted
living.
The generous top-floor living area speaks of ecclesiastic
influences. Arched doorways take notes from a church-turned-yoga-studio on the
same road, Love Supreme Projects. Beyond, a quiet, rear-facing terrace is ideal for yoga or Pilates.
Four skylights pour natural light through the vaulted
ceiling into the space. Neutral tones and restrained interior design, courtesy
of Golborne 44, produce an
uplifting atmosphere. Completely bespoke, the kitchen’s Arabescato rose marble
worktops unite a Smeg hob, Abode sink and Studio Ore tap. Smooth micro-cement
flooring flows into a comfortable living area. A sanctum of pared-back
modernism, this space features Charlotte Perriand wall lights and an original
1970s Mario Bellini sofa.
A curving staircase with ash wood treads leads down to two
peaceful sleeping quarters. Recalling the aesthetic of the upper floor, the
principal bedroom features matte walls and an Arabescato rose marble bedhead. A
contemporary en suite enjoys Zellige
tiles by Bert & May and The Watermark Collection brassware. The guest bedroom places form
with function, with integrated storage, natural light and calming tones and
textures. Its en suite bathroom pairs a hand-crafted basin with a walk-in
rainfall shower.
Golborne Road is a vibrant street famed for its antiques, vintage fashion and food spots including Golborne Deli, Panella and Lisboa Patisserie.
