A Monochrome London Loft Filled with Art

This home, a rare creation by the late renowned designer François Catroux, is a stunning example of unique design. It spans across two former apartments in a beautifully maintained Victorian school conversion in Battersea, South London.

The home is over 5,700 square feet and is centered around a breathtaking living area with double-height ceilings. Three bedrooms surround this space, along with a spacious study filled with books and art, a mezzanine gallery, and a gym.
