Apartment - Double Upper
1855
Category A Listed
Double upper apartment comprising the top two floors of a previously converted townhouse. The access staircase is a tall daylit space which is even more dramatic at night when illuminated by contemporary wall lighting and pendant fittings suspended from the full height of the roof lantern cupola.
Removing the bedroom on the principal floor allowed the recreation of an elegant three bay drawing room and formal dining space with new panelled wall with concealed Edinburgh wall press
The apartment has been furnished with a blend of classic contemporary furniture which works well with the period interior using furniture brands such as B&B Italia and Knoll. The restrained simplicity of the decoration throughout most of the apartment gives way to a more embellished look with the introduction of bold modern wallpaper designs in the two double bedrooms.
