Designed by Maolíosa Murray, this two-bedroom home is a showcase of historic architectural legacy and an unwavering dedication to exceptional craftsmanship
At The Whiteley, London’s first department store-turned-landmark residential and hospitality destination, a new duplex residence has been unveiled. Designed by Maolíosa Murray, an Irish designer known for her elegant European touch, the 256-square-metre home is a splendid showcase of both the building’s historic architectural legacy and her unwavering dedication to exceptional craftsmanship.
Set across two levels, the contemporary two-bedroom home embraces openness with six-metre ceilings, dramatic lead-arch windows and plenty of natural light. An homage to Murray’s mother’s ceramic gallery in Kensington creates a space where craftsmanship and art take centre stage, while her English-Irish roots are planted in a collection of furniture that unites Irish and international makers. Dramatic Opéra chandeliers and custom fixtures anchor the space, alongside a sweeping staircase finished with a custom silk and wool ombré runner that leads you into the mezzanine primary suite. The guest suite, on the lower level, is generously sized and opens onto an elegant Juliette balcony.
Currently on the market for £8,950,000, this apartment presents the opportunity to live in one of the few remaining homes in the development (at least 76 per cent of the units have been sold). The buyer will enjoy direct access to 5,574 square metres of world-class amenities, such as a 20-metre pool, gym, padel court and Six Senses spa. There will also be entertainment and retail at your doorstep, including the beloved Amsterdam import, live-fire restaurant Nela, and 3812 Gallery, which specialises in Chinese contemporary art.
