Marylebone 4BR Penthouse | Rooftop Garden & Cabins

Crowning a redbrick period mansion block, this sixth-floor penthouse by architect Chris Thompson is full of surprises. Interiors by the salvage and design studio Retrouvius give reclaimed and natural materials new life, from chalk-scribbled kitchen cabinets preserved behind glass to walls lit by sheets of reclaimed brass. Living spaces gather around a meadow-style courtyard of wildflowers within a sprawling garden with far-reaching views. The dining room sits beneath a glass roof and opens through retractable glass to the outdoors, while a russet-panelled sitting room, a cosy snug leading to a wraparound terrace and a quiet study offer places to retreat. The principal en-suite occupies the building's circular turret, with a freestanding bath beneath a porthole window. Three further bedrooms share two bathrooms, and a cabin bedroom in the garden suits visiting guests, beside a second cabin set up as a painting room. Regent's Park lies in one direction and the boutiques of Marylebone High Street in the other, with Marylebone and Baker Street stations minutes away on foot.
