The south and west elevations consist of full-heightglazing that is entirely frameless. This provides spectacular leafy views across Highgate's Victorian cemetery, and reduces the mass of the building, settling it into itslandscape. By contrast, the street façade is a curtain wall ofhoned black granite, steel panels and opaque glass, ensuring the utmost privacy.

Accommodation measures 4,225 sq ft, and is set over four floors. The four bedrooms all have en-suite bathrooms. The kitchen on the top floor has a retractable rooflightwhich, when open, transforms the room into an open-air court.
