Lansdowne Walk

Minimalism meets mid-century modernism in this one-bedroom lateral apartment, caught between Notting Hill and Holland Park.

Lansdowne Walk is set within a cluster of residential roads in the middle of Notting Hill and Holland Park, characterised by a wealth of heritage architecture and peaceful atmosphere. On the third floor of a contemporary apartment block is this one-bedroom, bound by reams of sunlight and well-considered interior design.

Enter into an open-plan reception room and kitchen, bathed in natural light through a floor-to-ceiling picture window. The neutral carpet and walls set a relaxed tone for eye-catching mid-century furniture: a leather tuxedo sofa, glass-topped coffee table and wooden television cabinet. From the living area, there are views across Hanover Gardens with its mature trees and verdant lawns. The kitchen is all whitewashed cabinets and smooth worktops, while mirrored splashbacks amplify the sense of light. There’s a breakfast bar complete with two black chairs.

The bedroom maintains the home’s characteristic minimalism, with a calming palette of pale hues. Ample storage is offered with full-height wardrobes, while a stone windowsill and run of exposed brickwork bring a textural edge to the space. The modern bathroom is finished with pebbled-toned tiles and a bathtub.
