Elevated living in a stylish former printworks. A two-bedroom penthouse apartment in the heart of North Kensington.

The Ink Building is characterised by the sinuous, rust-coloured curves of its balconies – a precursor to the compelling design found inside this two-bedroom North Kensington home. Take the lift to the eighth floor and enter a stylish penthouse apartment; designed by Duck & Shed, the property’s industrial proportions have been expertly reimagined for the modern dweller.

The open-plan kitchen and reception room is enhanced by soaring ceilings and polished plaster walls, with plenty of space for zoned living and dining areas. The Poggenpohl kitchen is a masterstroke in aesthetic beauty and streamlined functionality, complete with integrated Miele appliances and marble counters. Beyond a granite-grey feature wall, find a peaceful study space. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and lead out to one of two roof terraces: a south-facing suntrap with views across the surrounding rooftops.

The master suite is minimalist in style and serene in feel. A dedicated dressing space ensures a clutter-free environment, with an en-suite bathroom wrapped in clean-cut greyscale marble. Just like the master, a guest bedroom has direct access to the second roof terrace. With a design lexicon comprised of considered materials and spacious proportions, The Ink Building is set for dynamic city dwelling.
