Standing on the edge of Myatt’s Fields Park, this five-bedroom Victorian townhouse has been fundamentally redefined. Between 2021 and 2023, the property underwent a meticulous three-year transformation led by a very talented interior designer. The result is a 2,420 sq. ft. residence that functions as a "Biophilic" sanctuary, a home designed to reduce the friction of city life by bringing the restorative patterns of nature indoors. It is a rare property where the Victorian proportions remain, but the internal experience is entirely contemporary, focused on light, air, and psychological well-being. The ground floor has been reimagined to eliminate the narrow, dark hallways typical of the era. Instead, the space flows as a continuous sensory journey:

• The flying waterfall stairs: A custom-engineered ceiling installation curves through the reception rooms. Rather than harsh spotlights, it provides a soft, non-linear glow that mimics the movement of water, designed to lower stress and rest the eyes.

• Textured Elements: The walls are finished in hand-applied Stucco Veneziano (marble plaster), which catches the light with a natural, mineral depth. Underfoot, sustainable bamboo flooring and Italian stone provide a grounded, organic feel that is both durable and carbon-neutral.

• The Floating Spine: A bespoke walnut waterfall staircase rises through the centre of the home. With its sculptural "cascading" design and natural rope balustrade, it turns the simple act of moving between floors into a moment of architectural interest.

The rear of the house is dedicated to light and life. The Italian-designed kitchen and dining area are wrapped in high-performance glazing, dissolving the line between inside and out.

• The Indoor Garden: A massive, living green wall acts as a natural air purifier and a vibrant visual anchor for the dining space.

• The Soundscape: Outside, a stone waterfall and pond system in the landscaped garden are calibrated for "Psychoacoustics" the sound of trickling water is specifically used to mask the ambient hum of London, creating a private acoustic bubble.

Beneath the high-end finishes is a "high-performance" infrastructure designed for effortless living:
