This unique three-bedroom apartment at Television Centre in London is on the eighth floor of the building and features interior design by Fran Hickman. It is part of an exclusive collection of Premium Apartments at Television Centre known as The Architects’ Series.
The kitchen forms the heart of the home along with an open-plan living and dining room. Three roof terraces and three generous bedrooms have been planned concentrically around the heart of this home.
All three bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes and en-suite bath or shower rooms. From the entrance hall, there is access to a guest bathroom and a separate utility room with terrazzo worktop. With the exception of the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen, flooring is engineered oak throughout.
Designed with the occasional catered cocktail party in mind, the kitchen of this beautifully configured apartment can be closed off from the living area with a discreet sliding door, but equally opened up to maintain a natural spatial flow. The breakfast bar overlooks a beautiful planted roof terrace with all the trappings of a Singaporean sky garden.
Two of the bedrooms have direct access to a vast lateral terrace overlooking the private and stunningly planted Crescent courtyard. The two west-facing terraces allow for panoramic views of West London as well as the little-known Hammersmith Park, a hidden gem of serene greenery with tennis courts, Japanese gardens and a bowling green.
In her exquisite designs for this apartment, Soho House interiors veteran Fran Hickman has used the architects’ rich material palette of walnut, black basalt, and soft grey finishes as inspiration for a pool of deep, dusky tones that gleam, jewel-like, in the sunlight.
The full-length windows at the east and west ends of the living space allow these superb interiors to be illuminated by an epic scope of sunrises and sunsets, perpetuating the vibrant drama of this unique home.
This dramatic home is listed for £4,000,000 with Strutt & Parker, an affiliate of Luxury Portfolio International®.
