The grown-up bachelor pad

An urban-chic look for a classic Soho loft apartment

From street level, you’d never guess that this apartment was even possible. It opens up like The Doctor’s TARDIS, revealing vertiginously high ceilings and vast windows that stare, unblinking, at the jumbled rooftops of Soho.

It’s a real estate rarity, but one that needed much love. Street cred could only take it so far. The bachelor pad needed to mature and exchange utility for a little artistry and refinement.

No monkey business

Pale oak floors, ivory and blue-grey walls, quietly stylish furniture – these elements provide a subtle backdrop for statement art. Well, nothing was going to upstage the chimp.

Top Drawer

Near the apex of the double-height ceiling sits a sleek writing desk with a framed photo of Soho George. He’s a legendary local, famed for his signature check suit, fedora and bowling shoes. He looks right at home in this stylish spot.
