A Light Duplex Apartment in an Arts and Crafts Building

On the top two floors of an Arts and Crafts building towards the top of Parliament Hill in Hampstead, London, lies this wonderful three-bedroom apartment with an inverted layout, meaning the living spaces are on the top floor and the bedrooms on the floor below.

The interiors are being described as ‘California cool meets British Arts and Crafts.’ The light-filled spaces feature a light color palette with warm wooden elements, creating timeless and comforting interior spaces.

The top floor, under the eaves, is home to a lovely living space running the entire width of the house. Warm wooden floorboards, white-painted brickwork, and British cedar paneling form a warm base to the interior spaces, which are paired with light, contemporary furnishings.

Despite being an attic room, the space is light thanks to the many windows and glazed balcony doors on three sides of the room.

A spacious dining area sits on the other side of the room in front of doors leading to the roof terrace.

The kitchen on the top floor is equally bright with white painted rafters, a Velux window, and roof lights paired with lovely green kitchen cabinets.

On the lower floor lie three bedrooms, all with original recessed wardrobes, a bathroom, and a utility room.

The entire home is decorated in light colors paired with the occasional color pop, like this sage green ceiling or the pink hallway.

The bathroom has a large walk-in shower, wood-like floor tiles, and dark blue wall tiles.

The walls in the hall are painted in Farrow and Ball’s ‘Au Lait’, pairing beautifully with the original wooden floorboards.

The house is listed for £1,750,000 at The Modern House.
