Volume does much of the talking inside this penthouse on Blenheim Crescent in London<\/a>. Once an artist\u2019s studio, the space has been reworked into a two-bedroom apartment where height, texture and light are key to the experience within. The transformation is by Saskia Blyth of Blyth-Collinson Interiors, with an approach grounded in atmosphere and restraint.<\/p>\n

Vaulted ceilings and low-slung beams give the 2,042sqft plan a near-civic scale, softened by yellow-toned lime plaster and inky black walls. The main reception level wraps around the volume in a horseshoe arrangement, creating a sequence of interconnected rooms. Light enters through double-height windows that rise into the eaves, washing across a kitchen anchored by a monolithic marble and timber Boffi island. Elsewhere, Parquet de Versailles flooring sourced from Belgium and matt-black Dornbracht fittings bring tactility and weight.<\/p>\n

Two calm bedrooms sit apart from the main living spaces, each with an en suite bathroom and access to a private terrace overlooking the Notting Hill<\/a> roofscape. The principal suite pairs a vaulted ceiling with a skylit bathroom, while the guest room introduces fitted storage and a hessian carpet. The apartment is available for long or short let, priced from \u00a36,000 per week through Domus Nova<\/a>.<\/p>\n
