Designed by local studio Golborne 44, this two-bedroom duplex marries style and simplicity in a vibrant setting.
Minutes from Trellick Tower, Ernő Goldfinger’s brutalist masterpiece, this home takes a similarly considered approach to design. An inverted layout creates a bright and inviting atmosphere throughout.
In the top-floor reception room and kitchen, an abundance of natural light filters through four skylights in the vaulted ceiling. Neutral tones and restrained interior design courtesy of Golborne 44 produce an uplifting feel. 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 filled with modernist design classics, including Charlotte Perriand wall lights and an original 1970s Mario Bellini sofa. When you need to take a breather, a trio of doors lead to an L-shaped roof terrace with cityscape views.
A curving ash wood staircase leads down to two peaceful bedroom suites below. Recalling the aesthetic of the upper floor, the principal bedroom features matte walls and an Arabescato rose marble bedhead, while its en suite is finished with Zellige tiles by Bert & May and The Watermark Collection brassware. The guest bedroom unites form with function – think integrated storage and calming tones and textures, plus a hand-crafted basin and walk-in rainfall shower in the en suite.
