Description

Exquisitely designed by internationally renowned architects, PDP London, 5 Whistler Square offers sophisticated timeless design and distinguished craftsmanship, from the outset. Behind its glorious façade interior design maestros, Banda, have layered their impeccable style against the rich architectural backdrop, fluently blending modern aesthetics with traditional idioms and forms.               

Set along beautiful Whistler Square with a total area of 13,030 sq. ft. (1,211 sq. m), this magnificent seven-bedroom townhouse shares its arrangement and elegant proportions with its Georgian predecessor, then elevates its scale with a generous width of ten metres, incorporating grand spaces and unparalleled amenities. Taking this shared value of 'design for life', Banda have crafted a turnkey family home that is intrinsically beautiful and faultlessly functional for modern living. As you journey through this extraordinary house arranged across six floors, there is an immediate sense of calm; a sanctuary from busy London life.               

Banda have sensitively balanced bespoke furniture items, commissioned pieces and contemporary art that sit in harmony together, and complement the generosity of space. An intricately patterned marble floor signifies your entrance into the heart of this magnificent home, as the spaces unfold above, below and beyond you. The serene study features a custom designed kidney-shaped, ebonised desk with teak chair finished in Edelman leather. Floor to ceiling windows bathe the family living room in natural light where custom-made sofas and pieces grace each side of the capacious room and handcrafted joinery alcoves flank the glorious centrepiece, a Noir St. Laurent marble fireplace.               

Blending functionality with elegance, the family kitchen and dining room comprises bespoke cabinetry crafted by Halstock, crowned with White Macaubus marble, complete with integrated appliances by Sub-Zero and Wolf, and custom-made facetted triangular dining table surrounded by Henning Kjaernulf 'Razorblade' chairs. Bi-fold doors open out onto a Mediterranean inspired private garden, bringing the outside in. The formal dining and living spaces are not only to be lived in, but to be loved. A one-of-a-kind, 1970's curved 'snake' sofa by Ueli Berger, and stunning Martin Masse dining table with Maxime Boutillier seats, provide the perfect setting for any type of gathering.               

Encompassing the entire second floor, the Principal Suite offers a palatial retreat, considerately designed with expansive dressing room and spacious principal bedroom, finished with minimal colour, Bauwerk limewash walls and bespoke emperor size bed. The Principal Bathroom is finished with bookmatched Arabescata marble, freestanding bath, bespoke vanity with polished brassware by Samuel Heath, and shower enclosure. Secondary bedrooms reside on the third floor, each with their own custom designed aesthetic and en-suite bathrooms.               

Beyond these elegant spaces, the ultimate luxury is the unprecedented amenity offering. The private spa with swimming pool, steam room, sauna and dedicated wellness studio seamlessly blends mental and physical wellbeing, a vital cog in Banda's overall design direction. The large cinema room features a custom u-shape sofa finished in Vienna velvet, the definition of comfort and relaxation.               

5 Whistler Square represents an exclusive collaboration between Chelsea Barracks and Banda - celebrating art, craft, design and architecture in an incomparable way. A masterclass in how to create an exceptional home, meticulously tailored for modern living, that's never been seen before in London. A wonderful house that is set to last the test of time.
