Tasker Lodge, London W8

Embracing the views, light and ambience of its Holland Park setting, this luxury penthouse was redesigned to meet the needs of an international family.

Back-to-back island seating in the double reception room gives the option to drift away with the skyline or curl up in front of the fire.

Floor to ceiling windows are left to take centre stage in the open plan living area.

Mid century styling in the dining area is enhanced by a Maurice Cockrill painting reflected in a custom-designed mirror.

A fusion of Russian and British artwork and contemporary furniture give an eclectic edge to decor.

Cool, crisp design still allows for a warmth and serenity, while echoes of the outdoors are present throughout.

Creating a comfortable home with understated elegance was a central theme of the design plan.
