South Kensington’s streets have a certain poise, and stucco-fronted Queen’s Gate Gardens captures it effortlessly. Within a grand townhouse, architect Andrea Cincotta has introduced a quietly contemporary sensibility – a thoughtful counter to the building’s classic facade. On the second floor – accessible by lift – a recent refurbishment elevates a pared-back, two-bedroom layout. The reception room is calm and confident in its simplicity: a pristine sweep of white anchored by a Romeo Rega sofa. There’s space to shape the room to your routine, whether that’s a dining set-up or a well-placed desk for homeworking. From here, a glass door opens onto steps that descend to the south-east-facing roof terrace. The separate Zanussi kitchen keeps things streamlined: clean lines, sleek surfaces and integrated appliances. The principal bedroom follows suit with a soothing aesthetic of neutral walls and wooden floors. A dedicated dressing room adds functionality, while the en suite bathroom brings together a rainfall shower and floating vanity with storage space. The second bedroom is served by a spacious family bathroom, complete with a bathtub.
