Modern interventions elevate period proportions at this contemporary two-bedroom duplex apartment in Bayswater.

Five minutes from Hyde Park, an inventive home occupies a handsome terrace. Entering on the first floor, a high-spec galley kitchen pairs clean-lined cabinetry with integrated Gaggenau appliances. Stone tiles transition to hardwood flooring as the space expands into an open-plan, double-height reception room. Illuminated by pendant lights, a Bulthaup island delineates the room into cooking and living space.

A trio of west-facing French doors stretches towards the high ceiling to cast natural light into the voluminous living area. This space is defined by a plush Swyft sofa and a minimalistic fireplace. Two walls of bespoke cabinetry offer display and storage options. A balcony provides outside space and a perspective on the leafy street below.

Stairs lead up to the air-conditioned principal bedroom suite. This quiet, rear-facing space combines hardwood flooring and sculptural sconces with a walk-in dressing area. A dark, dramatic bathroom features oversized tiles, a Teuco bath and a walk-in shower. On the first floor, a guest bedroom enjoys neutral tones and integrated storage. This room is served by a distinguished bathroom with a Keuco vanity and an expansive rainfall shower.
