Porchester Road W2

A Victorian warehouse elevated with contemporary style, this four-bedroom duplex in Bayswater lives up to its penthouse hallmark.

Behind its striking red-brick exterior, find a penthouse apartment that marries industrial proportions with contemporary aesthetic persuasion. The home has been innovatively inverted, so that the expansive open-plan kitchen and reception room makes the most of its fifth-floor positioning. Enter through Crittall doors into the uplifting space; light beams in through south-facing atelier windows and a skylight, illuminating the sleek lines and poured concrete floor that characterise the room. A spectacle of reflection and materiality, the eye is drawn to the striking hand-crafted copper kitchen: a rotating island, integrated appliances and luxe marble feature wall.

Desde esta planta, suba por una escalera de caracol a la azotea. Desde la bañera de hidromasaje revestida de cedro, disfrute de las vistas panorámicas del horizonte de Londres desde el amanecer hasta el atardecer. Con aislamiento acústico de nivel de estudio, calefacción por suelo radiante y aire acondicionado en toda la casa, esta casa ha sido imaginada para socializar durante todo el año.

Head downstairs to the fourth floor to find the sleeping quarters. A haven of minimalist serenity, the master bedroom features warm parquet flooring and skylights, a dedicated dressing space and an immaculately-designed en-suite bathroom. Revel in the Philippe Starck steam shower in the morning, or a long soak in the marble bathtub in the evenings. Three further bedrooms share the stylish yet serene atmosphere, each enjoying sleek en-suite bathrooms.
