| Description |
|
This impressive modern
residence, tucked away on the corner of
Doughty Mews and Robert Street in
Bloomsbury, occupies a very small
site. Looks are deceptive though
because in fact it offers accommodation over
four floors and even has a 14.5 metre
basement swimming pool that
is naturally heated by a series of deep bore
holes. The dezeen.com website explains that, "... One of the house's four storeys is sunken down below ground level. The main feature of this basement level is a 14.5-metre-long swimming pool .... Reception rooms occupy the ground floor, while the first floor accommodates a large open-plan kitchen and dining space, as well as the master bedroom and a study. ... The uppermost floor houses a more quiet lounge area that opens out to a south-facing terrace. .... (a) lightwell descends right down into the basement ... " The building is clad in
hand-made bricks from Denmark and
contrasting bronze metalwork.
