This beautiful townhouse in Knightsbridge had been renovated to breathe traditional life back into the property. Original features have been restored, and the use of luxurious interior finishes has given this unique property a new lease of life.
The garden can be viewed from as many as 7 different vantage points in various areas around this stunning property. No detail has been unconsidered, and every aspect of the garden has individual features that work in harmony together with the interiors.
Walking down the steps, you feel a sense of arrival to an area that is secluded, cocooned and intimate. The courtyard is framed with delicate and elegant planting that brings a calming and verdant quality to it. The planting has been designed with textural leaf shapes adding a slightly exotic feel with bolder/edgier plant specimens. The courtyard revolves around a statement fire chalice. The fire adds a little drama, is pleasing to the eye with the added benefit of being an area of warmth. We see this as a transitional area where one can be guided to the garden room.
The spiral steps guide you to another level in this garden – the roof terrace. The roof terrace adds a glamorous theme to the garden with the intention of holding many a decadent party. As you are guided to the top of the stairs there is an outdoor kitchen with surface space available for drinks and food to be served. There is also the versatility for a large dining table that can seat up to 10 guests.
The roof terrace is framed with planters with elegant brass metal detailing that link to the materials found in the interiors of the house. Within the planters are stunning architectural, bold leafed plants and large Heptacodium trees to create screening.
Linked within these planters are cantilevered benches, sculptural in appearance, yet practical to add extra seating when the roof terrace is hosting party guests.
The subtle lighting in both areas creates a relaxed, soft ambience for all to enjoy. A true wow factor garden in the centre of London.
