Introducing Rylett Studios, a modern family home located in one of the oldest buildings in West London’s Shepherd’s Bush. Embodying its industrial bones, this loft apartment features multiple spacious reception rooms, high ceilings, contemporary neutrals and wooden flooring.
You are welcomed into an open-plan kitchen/diner area overlooking the lounge and an extended outdoor terrace, separated by sliding doors. Designed for family living, the kitchen island doubles as a breakfast bar with wooden high chairs and pendant lights above. The kitchen is white with a subway-tiled backsplash and open display shelving for glassware and ceramics. Support columns act as dividers between the kitchen, dining and living areas.
The living room includes a grey feature wall which houses an antique display cabinet, bureau and artwork. At the centre, a coffee table is set with books under skylights that flood with natural light. Seating includes two sofas and a footstool, creating a comfortable TV-viewing setup on the opposite wall. Across the room is a cushioned armchair in blue velvet overlooking the outdoor patio. The cosy patio is finished with rattan chairs, plants and a large freestanding mirror that reflects more light into the indoors.
The spacious hallway includes a Persian rug by a blue sofa set against a statement vintage art piece on a deep grey wall. The space is completed with more frames, a mid-century sideboard, a wicker armchair and a vintage bar cart. This unique room serves for reception purposes and doubles as a relaxation and recreational space.
The second open-plan living area is thoughtfully divided into three distinct zones. Tucked beneath the mezzanine, the cosy library features floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, four sofas arranged for conversation, and a glass brick wall that softly filters light into the space. Adjacent to it, a music corner includes a grand piano, built-in bookshelves, and storage cubes.
The larger, double-height space opens up with impact, filled with natural light from the skylights and atrium ceiling, featuring a pool table, mid-century sideboard, lush greenery, and three sets of Crittall-style French doors that lead directly onto a decked patio, surrounded by plants.
The staircase set under sloped skylights leads to the bedrooms and bathrooms. Bathed in natural light through more skylights, the bedroom with an ensuite is complete with a spacious bath. It also has a study and sofas in wicker and cushioned fabric, fostering the same style of expansive living with a sense of open and airy culmination of modern and industrial elements. If West London met East London, that would be Rylett Studios. If this sounds like the perfect location for your out-of-the-box creative brief, contact us for more details.
