St Pancras Chambers , London NW1

TG-Studio has transformed this 3 bedroom penthouse located in the Grade 1 listed St Pancras chambers .
The apartment is just one of three penthouses in the 52 unit development by the Manhattan loft corporation . It covers the top three floors of the west tower of this famous London landmark .
The client hired TG studio to transform the unit from the standard developer spec into a personal and luxurious home .
As the property is of the highest public interest and the interiors listed by English Heritage as very significant , the floor plan had to be broadly maintained but all staircases , balustrading and partitioning , where possible , were replaced .
The Studio and the client worked very closely together removing all bathrooms , floor finishes , built in wardrobes and the kitchen .
The master bedroom , which is located on the top floor , is now reached through a new staircase that turns around an oak clad storage room reached off the main entrance hall .
TG Studio enlarged the floor area on this level and separated the space into a walk in wardrobe , finished in oak and sheep leather and personalised to the clients exacting needs . The master bedroom space is open plan but can be closed to the triple height living room by an electrical operated curtain .
The client let TG Studio select and furnish the entire penthouse and a meridiani bed in blue velvet was chosen in this bedroom flanked by vividly coloured lacquered bedside tables from LEMA . The master ensuite has been enlarged too and now features a Portuguese travertine stone which has a cave like quality . The bathroom features an extra-large walk in shower with a flush TV and a bespoke double sink unit finished in the stone , mirror and the textile oak present throughout the Penthouse , which enhances the earthy and organic feel of this sanctuary .
