Take a tour around a retro chic west London townhouse
A maisonette on the ground and basment floors of a west London townhouse. Upstairs, there is an open-plan living/dining room, a WC and a kitchen/breakfast room housed in the top half of a double-height glass extension. Downstairs, there is a master bedroom with a dressing room, shower room and media area that opens on to the garden (the space can be divided with folding doors to create a third bedroom), kids bedroom and a family bathroom.

Wine rack storage
Making the most of the townhouse's impressive proportions, one of the wide alcoves flanking the chimney breast is used as a wine store. The ever-changing wall of red wine adds a homely, lived-in feel to the space.

Bathroom
The Babington House-inspired bathroom was designed to be the most luxurious space in the house. The floating wall conceals a generous showerhead, similar to Soho House hotels from around the world. The pale grey marble floor is both grand and indulgent, while the slanted ceiling of roof lights keep the space bright.
