46 CHELSEA WATERFRONT PENTHOUSE Morpheus was approached by Hutchinson Group to design and deliver an interior scheme for the stunning 4 bedroom penthouse at Chelsea Waterfront, a new riverside development. Spread over 3,640 square feet, this beautiful residence is perched on the north bank of the Thames offering stunning views of the historic Lots Road Power Station and the meandering river both east and west. The brief from Hutchinson was to create a space that offers something completely different to that in the existing show apartments, whilst still attracting a potential buyer and enhancing the superlative quality expected of an apartment valued at £9m. The team met the brief by creating an elegant, timeless and luxurious apartment. The dream and initial concept are all based around the industrial heritage surrounding the development, the waterside living and the view from above. Key pieces such as the dining room table were designed to create a talking point for potential buyers, the base references the industrial architecture of the iconic neighbouring Lots Road power station creating relevance to the bespoke design and also brings a focal point to the living room. The garden room, a space that the team are particularly proud of, embodies the concept of ‘bringing the outside in’ and is also something completely unique to the penthouse. The room is an indoor extension of the outdoor terrace that can be enjoyed all the year round, offering residents and guests an idyllic vantage point for the city’s everchanging skyline. Acting as a multi-function leisure and entertaining space, the garden room features two rope lounge beds bespoke designed by the Morpheus team set against a green faux plant wall.
