Paris-based architecture firm Studio KO has become a major name in recent years, most notably for high-end projects like Musée Yves Saint Laurent in Marrakesh, the Balmain stores in Los Angeles and NYC, and restaurants around the world. They count clients like hotel pioneer André Balazs and film director Francis Ford Coppola as well.
Luckily for the real estate market, they also take on luxury residential projects, including this London flat right on Lowndes Square. Newly listed for £4.95 million (roughly $6.7 million) with Beauchamp Estates, the three-bedroom Knightsbridge residence offers the chance to live within the world-renowned firm’s immersive vision.
Though it sits in a charming period building, the 1,407-square-foot apartment actually has a midcentury, artistic aura. The architects dressed it in wood paneling reminiscent of the ’60s and ’70s, and also brought in graphic carpeting and splashes of color, with bright blue tile adorning the main bathroom. Overall, the atmosphere is vibrant, warm, and creative, beckoning a new owner to get inspired daily.
The neighborhood is also a permanent selling point. Over the centuries, Lowndes Square has been home to members of the British aristocracy—including George Brodrick, the 3rd Viscount Midleton—and, more recently, notable figures like billionaire Chelsea football team owner Roman Abramovich. It’s set moments from Harrod’s and Hyde Park, does it get more London than that?
The esteemed location and bespoke interiors of this flat will likely continue to increase in value for whoever scoops it up. Vlad Viaryshka, Senior Sales Negotiator at Beauchamp Estates, muses on the offering, “Featuring mirrors, concrete, natural materials and wonderful built-in furniture, it’s a dream home for lovers of cutting-edge contemporary design.”
