A striking five-bedroom contemporary home in Highgate. Built around a dramatic triple-height, top-lit atrium, the house combines glass, timber and steel with expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing and direct views onto the landscaped garden.
The interiors are clean and architectural while retaining warmth and personality. Bespoke timber joinery, natural stone and marble sit alongside mid-century Scandinavian furniture, bold colour and contemporary African art, creating a sophisticated backdrop that feels considered rather than minimal.
At the heart of the ground floor is a generous open-plan kitchen and dining space beneath the atrium void, featuring bespoke Danish timber cabinetry, and quartzite worktops. A breakfast area and banquette provide more intimate settings, while a long timber dining table offers a strong focal point for larger scenes. Full-width sliding glass doors connect the space directly to the garden and outdoor dining area.
The main reception room has floor-to-ceiling glazing, a marble feature wall with integrated fireplace and television, a green B&B Italia sofa and Arne Norell lounge chair. A separate family room/playroom, unusually accessed by either stairs or a built-in slide, adds a more relaxed and playful setting. There is also a dedicated study.
Upstairs, the principal suite is finished in soft sage tones with full-height garden glazing, bespoke timber joinery and a separate dressing area. Its marble en suite includes a dual vanity and freestanding bath. Four further bedrooms include two children’s rooms, complemented by additional bathrooms finished in marble and Moroccan zellige tiles in rich green and terracotta, with walk-in showers and freestanding baths.
Outside, the landscaped garden combines mature greenery, lawn, wildflower and herbaceous planting with stone pathways. A curved stone banquette wraps around the outdoor dining area, creating a distinctive setting for exterior lifestyle and entertaining shots.
With its exceptional natural light, strong architectural lines, layered interiors and variety of contemporary spaces, Millfield is particularly suited to residential drama, high-end interiors and lifestyle shoots, fashion editorials, advertising and product photography.
