KENSINGTON: british inspired living in a contemporary form
A residence with a classical architectural language, contemporary precision, and a subtle British touch.
A Residence with Character
Single Family Residence | Location: Quiet Residential Neighbourhood | Living Area: 299 m² | Building Volume: 1,686 m³ | Plot Size: 1,915 m² | Rooms: 5.5 Rooms | Construction: Solid Construction
KENSINGTON combines the defining qualities of traditional British homes with a clear contemporary architectural approach. The distinctive hipped roof, finely proportioned mullioned windows, and carefully articulated façades give the house a calm and confident presence within its neighbourhood. With approximately 290 m² of gross floor area and 4.5 rooms, the residence brings together generosity of space, architectural precision, and everyday functionality within a balanced overall concept.
Contextual Yet Distinctive
The architectural quality of the house lies in its careful integration into its surroundings. The roof form reflects the scale of the neighbouring buildings and contributes to a harmonious overall composition. At the same time, the horizontal façade articulation lends the building a composed and controlled appearance. The façades are both restrained and expressive. Generous window openings are precisely positioned according to function, orientation, and views, creating a balanced relationship between openness and privacy.
Clear Structures for Everyday Living
The ground floor combines cooking, dining, and living within one spacious and interconnected environment. Large sliding elements extend the living area onto the terrace, creating a seamless transition between interior and exterior spaces. A sheltered courtyard further enriches the spatial experience, providing an intimate outdoor retreat with its own atmosphere.
A home office, guest WC, and direct access to the double garage complement the programme on this level. The upper floor accommodates two bedrooms, a generous master suite with walk in wardrobe and private terrace, as well as comfortable bathroom facilities. A centrally organised circulation area ensures clarity, orientation, and efficient movement throughout the house.
Restrained Design with Character
The interior architecture follows a consistently refined and understated approach. Clean lines, carefully selected materials, and precise detailing define the atmosphere of the spaces. Dark handleless kitchen cabinetry creates a sophisticated contrast to light natural stone surfaces. Bespoke joinery integrates storage seamlessly into the architecture, reinforcing the calm overall appearance. Within the circulation spaces, exposed timber elements of the roof structure introduce warmth and material richness. Carefully positioned lighting provides subtle accents and enhances spatial depth. The interiors are understated, enduring, and crafted with a strong sense of permanence.
Designed for Different Stages of Life
KENSINGTON was conceived as a home that supports both everyday routines and moments of retreat. The private rooms on the upper floor provide flexibility and personal space, while the master suite with walk in wardrobe and terrace establishes its own distinct residential quality. The lower ground floor expands the programme with a fitness room, wellness area, storage spaces, technical rooms, and laundry facilities. The clear separation between communal and private functions ensures long term adaptability and ease of use. The result is a residence that combines functionality and architectural quality within a coherent and timeless whole.
