THE PARK CRESCENT
~ A set of contemporary residences on the doorstep of Regent’s Park ~
Situated overlooking Regent’s Park, at one of London's most iconic addresses, is the timelessly elegant
Park Crescent. A stunning Grade I listed arc of John Nash townhouses, this unique setting provides the
backdrop for our design of two luxury apartments.
Boasting high ceilings and private courtyard gardens, the three and four-bedroom duplex residences,
numbers 9 and 12, have been designed to present the perfect marriage of classic and contemporary style.
Upon arrival at the entrance hall, an immediate sense of modern grandeur is established with the
spectacular chandeliers and polished marble flooring. A discerning selection of hand-picked and
thoughtfully placed contemporary artwork offers the perfect finishing touch to the space.
Throughout these exquisite residences, neutral colour palettes form a subtle response to the multitonal
and organic hues found in Regent’s Park. Shades of sage and pewter are woven throughout
number 9, whilst hints of mink and champagne set an opulent tone in number 12.
The sensation of ushering the outdoors in is further enhanced through the elegant full-height
windows, which overlook the changing landscape of Regent’s Park and flood the living spaces with
natural light. This synergy with nature is also referenced through organic shapes such as a bespoke
crystal chandelier, thoughtfully positioned to mimic the curving helix of the spiral staircase.
This leads the way gracefully into the study, where Ralph Lauren pinstripe walls and houndstooth
accessories create an interplay of texture and interest against rich mahogany joinery. At number
12, texture also plays a starring role, with luxuriant rugs underfoot, doors adorned in leather and
layers of bespoke bed linen swathing the bed. Glimmers of opulence can be observed throughout this
well-appointed space, from the sumptuous teal velvet chairs which sit around a Nero Marquina marble
dining table, to the gold leaf accents on the master bedstead.
Situated at the heart of the apartment is an inviting outdoor space framed by a spectacular water
feature. Here the acoustics of running water and verdant foliage provide a soothing respite in the heart
of one of London’s most prestigious enclaves.
