Across the entrance hallway are the two master bedroom suites , which both include spacious walk-in-dressing areas . The principal double-height master , located at the front of the penthouse , includes access to a private balcony , and features an impressive headboard embroidered with glistening and shimmering metallic threads and glass beads .
Goddard Littlefair has celebrated art and craftsmanship throughout the apartment , depicting culture and nature through subtle elements that tailor to the design narrative in each room .
The design team has also commissioned bespoke artwork throughout . One of the statement pieces is a bespoke chandelier in the main living area , with amber handblown glass discs , suspended on antique brass clasps and meticulously positioned to capture the eye .
Continuing the celebration of craftsmanship , bicarbonate of soda is used to create a delicate effervescent texture within these pieces of glass that glints in the light during the day and becomes a constellation in the evening .
Matthew Freeman , Senior Interior Designer at Goddard Littlefair , commented : “ Our initial concept for the penthouse started with a round table to share ideas and construct the narrative for the project , beginning with imagining the future resident and creating a personality for them . The influence of their culture and lifestyle can be seen through personal touches throughout the home that harmonise together to create an enchanting apartment that represents the best of London and provides endless spaces to relax , work and entertain .”
