London, W2 6ET

Behind its striking red-brick exterior exists an apartment offering exquisite modern design and aesthetic persuasion. The home has been innovatively inverted, so that the expansive open-plan kitchen and reception room makes the most of its fifth-floor positioning. Enter through Crittall doors into the uplifting space. Light beams in through west-facing atelier windows with integrated seating, illuminating the sleek lines and polished concrete floors that characterise the room. A spectacle of reflection and materiality, the eye is drawn to the striking hand-crafted copper kitchen: a rotating island, integrated appliances and luxe marble feature wall. Thoughtfully zoned, a relaxed living area is positioned beneath a retractable skylight. With studio-grade sound insulation, underfloor heating and air conditioning throughout, this home has been imagined for socialising throughout the year. From this floor, ascend a sweeping spiral staircase to the roof terrace. From the cedar-clad lap-pool, enjoy panoramic views of the London skyline from dawn till dusk. Head downstairs to the fourth floor to find the sleeping quarters. A haven of minimalist serenity, the master bedroom features warm parquet flooring and skylights, with an immaculately-designed en-suite bathroom behind Crittall windows. Revel in the Philippe Starck steam shower in the morning, or a long soak in the marble bathtub in the evenings. Two further bedrooms share the stylish yet serene atmosphere, each enjoying sleek en-suite bathrooms. *Images shown are of an adjacent apartment in the same building and not of the specific apartment available to rent.
