A Modern Ground-Floor Apartment with a Tiny Patio Garden

This one-bedroom apartment with a private patio garden is located on the ground floor of a historic terrace house in the Camberwell area in London. The apartment was renovated and redesigned by its current owners in collaboration with Lord Architecture, creating light-colored interior spaces and a fabulous kitchen space.

The 45 square meter apartment is washed in white paint, and polished concrete flooring lies underfoot in the kitchen and living room, creating modern and fresh interior spaces.

There is an open layout between the kitchen and the living room, which is located in the center of the apartment, ensuring the living area also gets natural light from the large windows and skylight in the kitchen.

The kitchen and dining room are located at the back of the plan, connecting to the charming walled patio garden. The full-length glass ceiling and wall panels seamlessly meld indoor and outdoor living.

The kitchen is simple in design with sleek white cabinets, wooden shelves, and a marble backsplash. The orange-red SMEG fridge adds a bold color pop to the modern space.

A wide glass door opens to the small patio garden.

The walled garden features terracotta tiles from Bert & May, and one wall is tiled in a similar pattern to the tiles in the living room fireplace.

The raised bed features olive trees, star jasmine, and climbing wisteria.

You enter the home in the living room, where a sisal carpet has been placed atop the polished concrete flooring for a natural, warm touch.

The cozy room has high ceilings (which have been taken advantage of with high bookshelves), and elegant cornicing, reminiscent of the building’s history. In the center of the space is a lovely tiled alcove where the fireplace used to stand.

A pretty pair of exposed wooden doors leads you to the apartment’s only bedroom. On the left, you can see the small niche with the front door.

The room features a shuttered sash window, letting in plenty of natural light. In this room, the polished concrete is replaced with sisal carpeting for a softer and more natural look.

The bathroom is located in the center of the apartment, between the living room and the kitchen. For such a small apartment, this bathroom is very spacious with a walk-in shower and a freestanding bathtub.

Glazed Bert & May tiles are paired with a marble sink, brass fittings, and butter-yellow walls.

The apartment is listed for £525,000 at The Modern House.
