Warwick Place, Little Venice, London, W9 2PX, United Kingdom

Designed by architecture studio Wells Mackereth, this award-winning property in Little Venice cleverly blends an industrial vernacular with period features. The modernist masterpiece is defined by its expansive living spaces, wide swathes of glass and clever craftsmanship, as well as its striking interior design.



The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, with a hydraulic door opening to the beautiful garden, blurring the boundary between inside and out. The sunken kitchen, inspired by Frank Sinatra’s Palm Beach home, features poured concrete floors with complementary kitchen cabinetry. The concrete continues in the living and dining spaces, which are double-height and exceptionally light with retracting skylights; here, beams have been left exposed, while a winch can be used to raise and lower a chandelier over the dining area. In the basement, a decadent library and cinema room has Charlotte Perriand-inspired elements and a chestnut leather conversation pit.



This home won the Daily Telegraph British Homes Awards 2011 for Interior Design and was a finalist in both the New London Awards 2011 and the World Architecture News Interior awards.



A secret weighted door hidden in the brickwork from the reception area leads to the principal bedroom, set in the original part of the building, the old coach house. It features wood panelling reclaimed from The Partridge Fine Art workshop, which previously lay here and has a walk-in dressing room with leather panels. On the mezzanine above the reception, a galleried study would also make a wonderful second bedroom; it benefits from dramatic views over the vaulted reception area.



Additional features include three sets of double French doors leading to a courtyard garden and a roof terrace. A secure garage offers direct access, along with two additional parking spaces.

The property is located at Warwick Place, near Little Venice's shops and cafes, Regent’s Canal, and Warwick Avenue Underground Station, offering easy access to Paddington and Heathrow Express.
