One of the first shops on Notting Hill Gate could have an extra storey on top to help keep up with its neighbours. We separated the entry for the maisonette above the shop with a naturally ventilated shared lobby from the street to not loose shopfront space. The extended maisonette above benefits from an open plan kitchen/lounge/dining space with a south facing balcony. Three compact bedrooms have a wc, shower room and en suite Underfloor heating and a tiled floor throughout provide practical and cosy interior. The new master bedroom has a south facing Juliet balcony. Laser cut screens protect the otherwise open stair adding a touch of art allowing the property to feel wider..
