Wood Crescent, London, W12

A cultural landmark reborn, Television Centre’s renowned framework now plays host to exceptional contemporary homes. Situated across the top two floors, The Architects’ Series presents a collection of premium apartments envisaged by select British architects. Within these – a penthouse with a playful approach to light, designed by Phil Coffey of Coffey Architects.

A modern lobby sets the tone for things to come, with striking design and a welcoming 24-hour concierge service. Ascend to the top floor, where panoramic views await. Inside, design carefully dictated by the movement of the sun attains a heavenly ambiance.

Following the gentle curvature of the building, an entranceway instantly emits a soothing air with smooth Terrazzo flooring. Set into the floor, concentric brass rings act as a playful imitation of the circles of light radiating from the Helios at the development’s centre. Expanding into a large, open-plan reception room, a brass laser-cut screen acts as a sophisticated partition to distinguish the kitchen. Arranged around a waterfall marble island, this space enjoys integrated appliances and sleek, minimalistic cabinetry. The oversized filaments of pendant lighting cast a gentle glow over the breakfast bar, while a full-height glass door slides to grant access to a south-facing terrace.

Sculptural orb chandeliers crown the living and dining spaces of the reception room, forming a connection between the two. Dual-aspect floor-to-ceiling glazing draws natural light into the space, creating a refreshing atmosphere. A small terrace provides far-reaching vistas while an additional decked terrace, around which the plan is arranged, pairs panoramic, eighth-floor views with a large outside space for relaxing or entertaining.

The principal bedroom suite also has access to the central terrace. A calming space, this room pairs sisal carpet with stylish wall lights and features a dressing area and a marble-wrapped en suite with a bath and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms feature fitted storage, terrace access and en suites which each benefit from eye-catching brass accents and baths with integrated rainfall showers.

Residents also benefit from access to the Soho House-operated gym with its 17m swimming pool, steam room and sauna, plus a comfortable residents’ lounge, complete with private screening room.
