If you were fortunate enough, during one of London\u2019s many design festivals, to nab an invite to the home-studio of Patrik Fredrikson and Ian Stallard, you\u2019ll have followed an inconspicuous alleyway through a private door into a fantastical double-height postindustrial space. The dark brick foyer opened into a collection of expansive, raw galleries \u2014 formerly part of a carriage wheel workshop \u2014 displaying the duo\u2019s amorphous hand-formed metal sculptures and colossal contemporary furnishings. A richly designed residential level was up the stairs and out of sight. And outside a pair of iron doors, a quietly burbling garden unfurled within a border of birch trees, belying the buzzy Clerkenwell location. Not a single visitor entered without taking pause \u2014\u00a0the experience was visceral.<\/p>\n

Now the property\u2019s 4,000 atmospheric square feet are being sold for \u00a33.95m<\/a> by the artist-designers who call themselves Fredrikson Stallard. The collectible works will be gone \u2014\u00a0some to museums like the V&A and MoMA \u2014 but the dramatic volumes that housed them are still suitably grand. \u2018After over a decade, these walls still hold the collective energy of every experiment and event,\u2019 said the designers in a statement, \u2018proving to us daily that our practice is a total experience that constantly refines how we see the world.\u2019<\/p>\n

The main floor remains open and flexible, with a former ceramics studio and a sequence of showrooms. The courtyard retreat is designed like a Japanese garden, finished in Italian travertine with calming fountains. Upstairs is a custom kitchen, dining and living space with oak parquet flooring and dusky marble accents. \u2018For 14 years our studio in London has been far more than just a place where we work,\u2019 the designers said. \u2018It has evolved into one of our greatest and most immersive creations. It is a living, breathing environment that completely dissolves the boundary between our lives and our art\u2026 Every smallest detail of the building has been deeply considered \u2014 exquisite materials, timeless and elegant contrasts of noble materials together with metals and stones, often patinated and burnished by our own hands.\u2019<\/p>\n

The private garden is planted with 200 silver birch trees that offers a feeling of immersion in nature at the centre of Dickensian London. When the space was first completed, the BBC named it a finalist in its Gardeners\u2019 World Garden of the Year competition. \u2018Being surrounded by trees, birdsong and the sounds of fountains has the restorative nature of the countryside,\u2019 say the couple, \u2018yet we remain in the heart of London.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018From the outside it feels discreet and almost hidden, but once inside it opens up into something incredibly expansive and immersive,\u2019 says Becky Fatemi, executive partner at United Kingdom Sotheby\u2019s International Realty. \u2018It is as much a creative environment as it is a place to work and spend time, and that is what makes it so rare.\u2019<\/p>\n
