54 The Kitchen which leads out onto the terrace Measuring the entire width of the duplex, a long terrace is set to the rear of the layout. In continuing to marry the interiors with the outdoors, Goddard Littlefair introduced a clean, architectural and landscaped feel, featuring three seating areas, including one with a dining table. Despite being located in the middle of the city, Goddard Littlefair creates an urban oasis on the terrace, instilling a feeling of nature with this major display of indoor planting. Indoors, the sheer curtains play beautifully with the incoming light, both screening the vista from the inside and bringing the outside in. “The terrace was a huge opportunity but it needed clever planning to create zones so that each area had a purpose. The view is second to none and we needed to maximise the opportunity to experience both that and the sense of the natural environment from the apartment’s proximity to the river Thames. “ - Jo Littlefair, Co-Founder and Director of Goddard Littlefair
