Upper Addison Gardens

This five-bedroom triplex for rent, with access to communal gardens and a dedicated yoga studio has been reimagined with Mediterranean warmth.

There’s a playful ease to this three-floor Holland Park home, expressed through dusky tones, uplifting proportions and a strong connection to the outdoors. Large sash windows and tactile finishes by Kinder Design lend a relaxed rhythm to everyday life, while bursts of colour bring energy throughout.

The Mediterranean influence is felt in both the palette and the sociable layout. Alongside generous spaces for gathering are quieter places to retreat, from an infrared sauna overlooking the treetops to a secluded yoga studio on the top floor.

The first-floor reception room is voluminous but warm. Arranged into distinct zones, there’s space for watching television as well as relaxing beside the feature fireplace on mid-century-inspired furniture. Wall-to-wall glazed doors run along one side, connecting the room to the adjoining kitchen and dining area and allowing south-facing light to travel through from the rear of the house.

In the kitchen, a richly veined marble island is topped with a streamlined stainless-steel hob. Patterned banquette seating, colourful drawer handles and characterful lampshades introduce a sense of fun. The room opens onto a terrace, extending the living space outdoors and framing views across the leafy communal gardens. Residents can access the gardens through a locked gate just seconds away, at the corner of the street.

Five bedrooms are arranged across the second and third floors. The principal suite offers more of the same – with cocooning terracotta tones, walk-in storage and sense of space. A wall of internal glazing creates a seamless connection with the spa-like en suite bathroom, complete with a deep bathtub and separate shower. Two mural-painted children’s bedrooms are also found on this floor, served by a family bathroom.

The top floor has been designed for both focus and restoration. A wood-panelled study, with a glass partition wall and integrated desk, opens onto a terrace shared with the adjoining room. Currently used as a gym, this understated space contains a concealed infrared sauna awash with soft natural light. A guest suite is also located on this floor, accompanied by a shower room crowned with a skylight.
