What do you get when an architect and a costume designer put roots down in London? It might look a little something like this Earl’s Court duplex—equal parts whimsical, contemporary, and classic. After all, the sellers are architect/ceramicist Tim Martin and Emmy award-winning costume designer Michael Wilkinson (whose work appears in American Hustle, Aladdin, Andor).
The Australian couple purchased the property back in 2017, when they moved from Los Angeles to London. They were initially drawn to the hand-painted palazzo murals throughout the flat. Of course, Martin—who was a senior designer on New York City’s American Museum of Natural History—brought his own touch to the home. He reconfigured the lower level, creating a kitchen and dining area that seamlessly meld with the garden space.
The reception room—currently coated in a lively chartreuse—welcomes visitors into the 1,530-square-foot residence with a balcony overlooking the enchanting gardens below. Downstairs, there are two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, and garden access. The creative duo’s work shines through, with Martin’s sculptures placed throughout and pillows made from a fabric that appeared in Aladdin.
For those interested in this London home, Douglas McCraith and Andrew Everill of Savills hold the listing for £2,395,000 GBP—or around $3,204,665 USD.
