Design Comment

Already one of the city’s most technically advanced and visually striking penthouses, the property still offers opportunities for further personalisation. The extensive roof terrace could be reimagined with outdoor kitchens, dining pavilions, or garden zones, while the interiors lend themselves to bespoke art curation or gallery-style lighting. The two-bedroom staff apartment could alternatively serve as guest accommodation or a private workspace, creating ultimate flexibility within this peerless London home.

Development Consultations

To assist potential buyers of this property to understand their full design and development options, Janine Stone & Co. is able to provide complimentary design concept and development consultations. It can be arranged for these consultations to take place at the property or in our London studio. Janine Stone & Co. will provide guidance on architecture, refurbishment and planning considerations, in addition to helping interested parties to develop their early design ideas, into floor plans with estimated project costs and timelines for realisation.
