Cathedral-like in volume, industrial in spirit – this four-bedroom penthouse to rent redefines loft living.
Set high above the gardens of Vauxhall Park,
this extraordinary four-bedroom penthouse plays with contrast. Designed by
architects Foster Lomas, the home spans nearly 3,700 sq ft across two levels,
with three terraces, dramatic double-height spaces and a concierge. Part
gothic, part industrial, wholly bespoke – this is a home defined by scale and
precision.
Accessed via coded lift or a private staircase from the concierge lobby, the journey into the apartment sets the tone. A long entrance corridor unfolds into a soaring double-height atrium, where towering walls clad in concrete tiles develop a sense of drama. There’s a seamless flow through to the reception space beyond: a setting to rival any gallery in scale. Vaulted ceilings stretch up to 20 feet high, crowned by full-height Crittall glazing that arcs across the rear façade. Framed views are matched by an interior anchored in precision – polished concrete floors, underfoot heating and Lutron lighting systems accentuate the attention to detail. Backdropping the lounge, Crittall-style glazing leads to a private terrace.
The centrepiece of the space is a striking kitchen – a feat of bespoke design. Conceived by the owner and collaboratively created alongside furniture maker Andrea Felice, it’s a setting to impress as host or embark on culinary adventures. Perch at the 18-foot island topped in black granite; above, a cascade of crystal shards forms a chandelier. There’s also a counterweighted steel screen overhead – engineered to slide into place and conceal the workspace during gatherings. Hidden doorways lead to a full pantry and secondary kitchen beyond.
Upstairs, the principal suite merges its minimalist form with curated artwork and accents. A semi-open en suite is arranged around a handmade teak bath – handcrafted in Estonia – with an Italian-tiled walk-in shower and double vanity. From both the bedroom and bathroom, enjoy open views out to a private terrace.
Two further bedrooms are found opposite, each
with access to outdoor terraces via sliding glass doors. A second en suite and
an additional shower room serve these bedrooms with equal attention to
detail. A fourth and final bedroom is
located on the level below – all exposed plaster finishes and served by a
considered en suite.
Three terraces encircle the penthouse, offering multiple aspects and views – from quiet moments overlooking the park below to far-reaching cityscapes above the conservation area.
Just moments away from the River Thames, this apartment is a springboard to Battersea and beyond – enjoy access to rail and riverboat links across London.
