Luxury is brought to a whole new level in this gorgeous Victorian triplex in London.
This expansive 600sq m triplex resides behind the façade of a Victorian ‘grande dame’ in Chelsea. Purchased as a shell and core of 3 floors, our international client engaged the services of SHH to transform the apartment into a glamorous contemporary haven for him and his family. "Although the floor plan was generous, there were some major challenges to work around” explained Architect Guy Matheson. "The first of these was that there was very little natural light on all floors, including the upper floor, which is also whrere visitors first enter the apartment. We therefore took the unusual decision to ocate the master bedroom on this storey to ensure that the main living quarters on the central storey below benefited from the apartment's major light source - the outside garden. To maintain a dramatic sense of arrival, however, we made the doors to the bedroom suite ‘disappear’, so that the focus instead is on the central stair, which we moved to its present location and which draws visitors’ eyes straight down through the space.”
