2 rooms flat of 120 m² in London

Behind a stucco-fronted conversion, this two-bedroom apartment is a considered, contemporary affair imagined by architecture and design studio 23 + GS / 318. From the quiet street, ascend to the building’s third floor. There’s tonal juxtaposition as you move from the entrance corridor – finished with dark plaster and marble – into the bright apartment. A wide hallway sets a stylish impression with soft pink walls and pale wood floors, a calming palette employed throughout the home. Through double glass doors, enter a spacious open-plan kitchen and reception room. At one end, minimalist furnishings make for a relaxed living area, whilst storage is subtly concealed beneath a full-width marble bench. Centering the room, a wooden dining table seats six. At the other end, the kitchen is all sleek grey cabinetry and high-spec integrated appliances. It’s a space that uplifts as it soothes, with reams of sunlight filtered through a series of sash windows. The principal bedroom suite is a picture of minimalism, with whitewashed walls, understated furnishings and integrated wardrobes. Its en suite bathroom is wrapped in dark oversized tiles, setting a modish scene for the dual vanity and freestanding tub. There’s access to two balconies from the bedroom and bathroom for a breath of fresh air. The guest bedroom continues the pared-back aesthetic, leading directly onto a decked roof terrace – with an enviable south-facing position. Completing the home, an additional contemporary shower room, cloakroom, and access to the namesake communal gardens.
