Une Résidence Contemporaine Exceptionnelle Où Une Architecture Expressive Rencontre Un Style De Vie Raffiné Et Minimaliste

Privately positioned within a secluded courtyard in Kensal Rise, the striking exterior combines handsome stock brickwork with sleek charcoal-toned window frames, creating a distinctive contemporary façade. Full-height glazed doors lead into the impressive heart of the home, where expansive proportions, abundant natural light and considered design create an exceptional setting for both everyday living and entertaining.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and reception space has been conceived as a sophisticated social environment, bringing together a rich combination of tactile finishes and architectural forms. Bespoke stained cherry wood shiplap beams contrast beautifully with black steel splashbacks and travertine and micro cement finishes, while a generous picture window draws sunlight deep into the room. The bespoke kitchen is equipped with an integrated suite of Gaggenau appliances, including a steam oven, built-in coffee machine and teppanyaki hot plate.

Continuing into the reception area, smooth travertine flooring provides a sense of continuity and understated luxury. A striking expanse of lustrous black steel forms the centrepiece of the room, positioned above an impressive 1.8-metre-wide gas fireplace. The dramatic finish introduces a subtle industrial quality, softened by the natural light that plays across its surface.
The feature wall has been meticulously designed to incorporate a wine fridge and bespoke timber-lined display shelving, combining practicality with sculptural elegance. A central architectural column naturally defines the dining area, which sits beneath a dramatic glass-topped double-height void. Designed with entertaining in mind, the principal living space is discreetly equipped with integrated Bang & Olufsen ceiling speakers.
The principal bedroom suite occupies the first floor, accessed through a sleek pocket door. Calm and considered, the bedroom pairs crisp stone flooring with richly stained cherry wood walls, which extend across the bespoke sliding wardrobes. Electronically operated blinds frame full-height glazing and open directly onto a private terrace, creating a seamless connection between the bedroom and outdoors.
The luxurious en suite bathroom is finished in substantial slabs of Italian travertine, enveloping a frameless rainfall shower in a beautifully cohesive finish. A bespoke Vola radiator and twin vanity introduce further elements of contemporary craftsmanship.
Also positioned on the first floor is a beautifully designed study, featuring a bespoke wooden desk integrated with an elegant arched bookcase. The curved detailing continues onto the adjacent wall, creating a sculptural sense of cohesion. With thoughtfully integrated wardrobes, the room offers excellent flexibility and can equally serve as a fourth bedroom.
Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the second floor, continuing the property’s signature combination of organic materials, bold architectural forms and refined contemporary detailing.
Further highlights include Kreon lighting with Lutron controls, Sonos sound system in each room with controls, secure parking for one vehicle, together with a landscaped green roof incorporating solar panels, combining the home’s architectural credentials with considered environmental features.
