Description Glass & Geometry: London

Down a quiet cobbled mews, tucked inside a gated community in north London, this apartment is architectural in character – not just well designed. A dramatic atrium draws natural light across all three levels, with full-height sliding walls replacing conventional doors in the bedrooms and a skylit dining space that makes evening meals feel considered. The spiral staircase connecting each level adds to the sense of a home that surprises you at every turn. Chalk Farm Tube, the Roundhouse, and Camden Markets are all a short walk away, keeping the city well within reach.

Home truths:
* The open atrium design means sound travels freely between floors – you'll hear activity from other bedrooms and living areas even with the sliding doors closed. Worth bearing in mind if you're a light sleeper or travelling with a mixed group.
* The open floating staircase and multi-level layout make this home less suited to anyone with limited mobility.
* While babies are welcome, this home isn't suitable for toddlers or children.
