6 rooms flat of 395m² in London

Expansive in scale yet minimalist in design, St Petersburgh Place has been designed to adapt to modern family life. An entire floor is devoted to leisure, while a garage and self-contained studio or office add an element of flexibility rarely found within walking distance of Kensington Gardens. Set well back from the street behind an immaculate Victorian façade, the house reveals the contemporary vision of Michela Bertolini of MBDA. Inside, the living spaces are fluid and light filled. Expanses of glazing and open-plan volumes allow natural light to travel throughout, creating long sightlines and a strong sense of connection between floors. At its centre, a sunken atrium draws daylight deep into the lower levels, illuminating a suite of leisure spaces including a games room, gym and cinema. These lower floors also accommodate a guest bedroom, a study that could be used as an additional bedroom, a bathroom, cloakroom, laundry and steam room with a separate WC – a thoughtfully orchestrated extension of the home’s footprint beneath both house and terrace. The cinema is fully equipped with a 123-inch screen, surround sound and reclinable seating, while integrated systems – including Lutron lighting and zoned climate control – ensure the house performs seamlessly behind its pared-back aesthetic. Clean architectural lines define the principal living spaces. A Bulthaup kitchen with integrated Miele appliances flows into a dining area set beneath a glass ceiling with a retractable roof, opening onto a private terrace and garden. Upstairs, a double reception room and study benefit from dual-aspect light. The material palette is deliberately restrained: raw natural finishes and white walls are complemented by mid-century design pieces by Philippe Starck and Vitra, alongside sculptural lighting, including vintage Murano glass by Luigi Catellos. The upper floors continue this sense of calm and cohesion. The principal suite features streamlined storage and a bright en suite with walk-in shower, double vanity and bath. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the floor below. Completing the impressive footprint, a self-contained mews house features a garage plus an additional bedroom or office.
