Properties

This award-winning property in Little Venice, designed by Wells Mackereth, combines industrial style with period features. The modernist design is characterized by spacious living areas, extensive glass elements, skilled craftsmanship, and striking interior design. This home’s open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area is the focal point, featuring a hydraulic door that opens to the garden, blending indoor and outdoor spaces. The sunken kitchen, inspired by Frank Sinatra’s Palm Beach home, has poured concrete floors and matching cabinetry. The double-height living and dining spaces are filled with light, with retractable skylights and exposed beams. A winch allows for a chandelier to be raised and lowered over the dining area. The basement houses a luxurious library and cinema room, with Charlotte Perriand-inspired details and a chestnut leather conversation pit. The home won the Daily Telegraph British Homes Awards 2011 for Interior Design and was a finalist in both the New London Awards 2011 and the World Architecture News Interior awards. A secret door leads to the principal bedroom in the old coach house, which features reclaimed wood paneling and a walk-in dressing room. A mezzanine galleried study, offering views over the reception area, could serve as a second bedroom. Additional features include three sets of double French doors opening to a courtyard garden, a roof terrace, a secure garage, and two additional parking spaces.
