Askew Road, London, W12

Architecture by Teatum + Teatum injects a dose of modernism to this quiet mews lane. Fusing daring textural design with uplifting light channels, this space is meticulously crafted for modern living.

Nestled between historic brick buildings, a black façade pairs with perforated metal doors at the entrance to Askew Road. Inside, interiors revolve around a striking 7 metre high internal lightwell. With external views confined to the skies, attention is drawn to an intriguing interplay of tone and texture.

Pebbled concrete-style flooring grounds the open-plan living room, where built-in furniture subtly shapes the use of the space. An integrated desk comes nestled into the wall of the lounge, while a chipboard bench and feature wall create a dedicated dining area. Lining the right wall, a standout kitchen with stainless steel finishes is a sophisticated space to cook.

Ascend a sky-lit stairwell to find two peaceful bedrooms, where light and glass unite to lend an uplifting feel. Herringbone flooring sweeps throughout, drawing warmth to a restrained palette and minimalist design. Handmade Jielde lamps provide vibrant accents, while bespoke white wardrobes create sophisticated storage space. Accessible from both the hallway and principal bedroom, a sky-lit bathroom is a serene spot for indulgent showers.
