Heritage grandeur meets midcentury-modern design at this two-bedroom duplex apartment in Bayswater.

Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 3
Capacity: 6
With its elegant Georgian façade, Westbourne Terrace hints at a home with history. Inside, however, design by Urban Future Organization and Andre Furstenberg creates a top floor duplex that’s decidedly distinct from what its exterior suggests.  

Poised for easy living and entertaining, an open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room unfurls from the entrance. Embracing a midcentury-modern aesthetic, earthy hues sweep through the space. A pared-back palette of tones highlights the clean lines of the room – drawing focus to a sleek white Boffi kitchen. Juxtaposed with a dark wood panel overhead, a bright stainless steel topped island allows simultaneous socialising. 

Dining takes place opposite, with a Jean Nouvel table aptly placed to embrace the soft glow of a Big Shadow lamp by Marcel Wanders. Post-dinner, wind down in a space designed for socialising, complete with Cassina and Cappellini sofas, plus two Jasper Morrison Low Pad Lounge Chairs. Vibrant art by Andy Warhol adds a touch of 60s whimsy. On warmer evenings, savour starlit skies and leafy views from the enclosed balconette. 

Minimalism ensues in the principal bedroom suite, where a calming white canvas allows natural light to bounce across the room. Soft furnishings dress the Jasper Morrison bed, infusing a dash of colour. With spacious integrated wardrobes and a glass clad en suite with a sky-lit bathtub, mornings are a relaxed affair.

Dark wooden floors sweep seamlessly through to the guest bedroom, considerately styled with artwork by Titia Ballot. Twin sash windows invite in soft natural light, creating a soothing space to unwind. On leisurely afternoons, pick up a book and settle into the Frank Gehry Wiggle chair. Suited to those who combine work with play, an entire wall of shelving frames a built-in desk. 

Across the top floor, reams of natural light flood a versatile lounge area for relaxing, studying or loading up a workout on the Apple TV. Fitted with a WC and glass framed shower, this is an ideal space to accommodate occasional guests.
