Set within a colossal 5,000 square foot sprawl, three bedrooms are arranged around a standout open-plan living room. A wall of original Crittall windows and a vaulted ceiling punctuated with huge skylights create a voluminous backdrop. Throughout, bold materials play a supporting role to the impressive bones of the building, while sleek geometric lines preserve a sense of the home’s industrial heritage.
Once a 1930s garage, now a showstopping three-bedroom lateral penthouse to rent, expertly reconfigured by Gumuchdjian Architects.
Overview
Widely acknowledged as one of the capital’s finest examples of Art Deco architecture, The Talisman Building is a recognisable local landmark. Up on the second floor, the industrial proportions of this former garage and petrol station have been reimagined as a one-of-a-kind penthouse fit for 21st century city dwelling.

The living spaces
The kitchen
Imagined for entertaining, the living space is delineated between a chef-worthy stainless-steel kitchen and dining and living zones, including a snug-like media room that comes with a bar and access to a shower room. Among the many focal points here, a double-sided fireplace creates connections with a quiet study beyond, perfect for cosy evenings in.
Bedrooms and bathrooms
True to form, the principal suite is a celebration of space and light, and a sanctuary of calm. Finished with polished concrete floors and pared-back precision, its expansive footprint includes a huge dressing room, and a marble wrapped en suite bathroom with a freestanding tub at its centre. Slide open the floor-to-ceiling doors to a southeast-facing terrace, enclosed with panels of frosted glass.
At the other end of the apartment, two further guest suites await – all high ceilings and soothing tones – along with another office space and a convenient second kitchen and utility room.
The neighbourhood
Overlooking the New Kings Road and within walking distance to the River Thames, The Talisman Building a offers moment of peace. Stroll to Parsons Green for coffee at St Clements, grocery shopping at Bayley & Sage or brunch at Hally’s. For creative inspiration, check out the showrooms at The Design Centre at Chelsea Harbour and refuel with pastries from French deli Chanteroy. Make Brook House your local and be home in seconds.
