Primrose Penthouse is a minimalist residence located in London, England, designed by UNCANNY Studio. This 237-square-meter private residence atop Art Deco building on Regent’s Park edge demonstrates how contemporary urban living can balance openness and intimacy through craftsmanship, texture, and light. Designers Églantine Sicat and Pauline Dellemotte transform once-fragmented top-floor apartment into serene fluid home addressing client desires for family-friend gathering spaces remaining adaptable to quiet private moments.

Curved timber-glazed partition screens folding upon themselves allow interior transformation from open-plan to enclosed configurations without losing spatial harmony, demonstrating flexible planning where rooms serve varied functions rather than fixed programs. This adaptability reflects contemporary understanding that domestic space must accommodate changing household compositions and daily activity patterns where formal entertaining and intimate family life require different spatial configurations within single residential footprint.

The entrance hall opens onto central living-dining area oriented toward Regent’s Park with fireplace and terrace access. Bespoke walnut and quartzite kitchen set behind dining zone features concealed wine cellar and discreet utility-laundry while primary suite includes bedroom, en-suite bathroom, and walk-in wardrobe with integrated vanity. Guest bedroom with adjoining bathroom, powder room, and lounge-study complete the space with layout choreographed around light – social areas oriented toward park greenery and private quarters secluded in calm natural tone cocoon.

Natural materials celebration employs walnut, oak, and Bubinga wood finished with natural stains and waxes enhancing tactile warmth. Former structural obstacle – leaning post that could not be removed under Licence to Alter – receives creative reimagining as sculptural Bubinga-clad totem with bespoke metal rings becoming defining entrance hall feature. This constraint transformation demonstrates how renovation limitations can become design opportunities through inventive material application.
