Princes Yard

This four-bedroom triplex for sale is a calming sanctum, engineered by Orefelt Associates. Inside, welcoming living spaces are brought to life with carefully-balanced natural and industrial materials.

Princes Yard is tucked away in a quiet mews enclave, just moments from the handsome period townhouses and vibrant thoroughfares that line Holland Park Avenue. Designed by Gunnar Orefelt of Orefelt Associates, the home’s modern façade is marked by cubic panels of glass and a black wood render – a precursor to the clean-line architectural forms found within.

Blonde hardwood floors draw you into the open-plan reception room, spread across the entire first floor. It’s a bright and uplifting space, with cascades of light pouring in through dual-aspect windows. There’s gallery-esque form and feeling to the expansive whitewashed walls, panels of glass that frame the staircase and wooden shelving with metal cable brackets. A dining space sits at one end of the room, an inviting living area at the other – from here, full-width glazing slides open to a balcony, employing a sense of connectivity between the indoors and out. A minimalist kitchen is also found on this floor, pairing muted cabinetry with stainless steel worktops. Running throughout the home, the staircase has been artfully finished in steel and timber. Ascend to the second-floor principal bedroom, complete with pared-back hues, full-height storage and an en suite bathroom. Three additional bedrooms continue the tranquil feel and understated design of the principal suite, set across the ground and second floors. Two family-sized bathrooms wrapped in pale mosaic tiles serves these rooms. One of the ground-floor bedrooms enjoys direct access to a Japanese-inspired courtyard garden, designed by Mark Anthony Walker Associates.
