Palace Court

Visual fluidity flows through this standout two-bedroom apartment for sale in Bayswater, with contemporary design and palatial proportions.

The handsome façade of this period red-brick mansion block makes an eye catching first impression, but the ultra-contemporary apartment that awaits on the first floor sits in stark and striking contrast to the heritage exteriors. MM-L Studio’s complete reimagination of the space brings modern living to the fore.

In the lateral open-plan reception room a swathe of white tones washes over every surface. Three impressive twisting columns create a sculptural centrepiece. The entire footprint is awash with an intricate, black-flecked marble, which offsets the minimalist design details that flow throughout. A sleek, white kitchen with a curved Corian island and integrated appliances is at the heart of the space, with plenty of room for entertaining.

A bright and airy living area dominates the rest of the space, with a floor-to-ceiling bookcase and plenty of leeway for a work from home setting. Subtly separated by another bookcase, the principal suite enjoys a studio-style layout. Light floods in through a vast window, illuminating a wall of custom-build storage while a Corian en suite bathroom is tucked tactfully behind a sliding door.

The striking marble floor continues to the back of the home where a second bedroom enjoys the privacy of its own suite. A bathroom with a rainfall shower and a full-wall mirror sits to one side. Minimalist build-in storage retains the sense of flow that is felt throughout.
