Looking for somewhere to stay or for a penthouse in London? TG-Studio has transformed this 3 bedroom penthouse, located in the grade 1 listed St Pancras chambers. The client Arran Patel hired TG studio to transform the unit from the standard developer spec into a personal and luxurious home. The apartment is 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. Due to the building’s grade 1 listing status, the floor plan had to be broadly maintained but all staircases, balustrading and partitioning, where possible, were replaced.
As the property is of 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 Arran worked closely together removing all bathrooms, floor finishes, built in wardrobes and the kitchen. The middle and lower floor are occupied by two levels of entertaining (complete with collector’s item pool table), with a new oak staircase connecting them.
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 Arran’s needs. The master bedroom space is open plan but can be closed to the triple height living room by an electrical operated curtain. From the entertaining area you have access to two bedrooms with a dressing area and an en suite each. The two en suite bathrooms are located in two gothic towers of the building which gives them great views of the surrounding area and a triple ceiling height.
The lower open floor plan is laid out as a relaxed kitchen zone, dining area and tv watching area. The TV area is located opposite the kitchen and balances in its elevation the open plan kitchen. The joinery accommodates the AV equipment and a visible library and is kept very white with arrabascato stone as a vertical feature behind the TV. The dining table is from Poliform as are the chairs, the sofa is from zanotti, the rug from the rug company.
