Once the site of an Earl’s Court nightclub frequented by the likes of Freddie Mercury in the seventies, the property’s legacy is honoured with enlivening interior design, sophisticated technology and a footprint tailor-made for socialising. A space which had been unused since 1979 was transformed with pioneering creativity into a captivating, contemporary home.

A playful tone is set in motion through the entrance hall’s revolving door, concealed by Cole & Son wallpaper. Whitewashed walls, a cantilevered staircase and panels of clean-line glass hark to the architectural precision of a gallery – a visual sentiment continued in the lower-ground floor living space. There’s a voluminous feel to the kitchen and dining room, courtesy of a double-height void engineered out of the atrium level above. Above the dining area, a rooflight illuminates the space throughout the day and offers a night-sky view come evening. The kitchen’s sweeping worktops and pale tones lend attention to considered details, from the integrated stove tops to a blackboard wall and bottle storage hollowed into a wall.

Silvan wood floors run from this space into the expansive reception room. With its lower ceiling height, there’s a cosy atmosphere across the cinema and formal living areas. A floor-to-ceiling bookcase features a secret door which leads to a Tadelakt steam room with a starlight fibre optic ceiling. At the rear, a study and wine cellar are situated through a set of archways. Additional illumination is afforded through glass roofs and recessed pavement lights positioned around the room’s periphery. With triple-glazed fenestration and acoustic layering, there’s unparalleled levels of quietude to this central London home.

The principal bedroom suite occupies the entire second floor, infused with uplifting morning sunlight. Full-height wardrobes are finished with sky-blue panels, a pop of colour against the room’s pared-back hues. Open the French doors to a quiet balcony. Its en suite bathroom features a dual vanity, large bathtub and rainfall shower backdropped by sand-toned metro tiles. The first-floor guest bedroom suite can be reimagined as a dedicated dressing room, office or exercise space, complete with rows of integrated wardrobes and a calming colour palette.

Characterised by leafy streets with rows of period homes, Earl’s Court is peaceful residential area with a central London postcode. On your doorstep, Brompton Cemetery is one of the capital’s seven historic burial grounds, with tree-lined avenues and heritage architecture. Venture into Chelsea for retail therapy along the King’s Road, before a stroll along the Embankment. South Kensington’s plethora of museums are nearby for world-class exhibitions. Spend an evening at Evans & Peel, one of London’s only speakeasy bars, or catch live music at The Troubadour.
