Not even the legendary Monty Python team could have conceived the melting pot of ideas that inspired the transformation of this former confectionery factory into an uncanny and quite magical residential haven.
Commanding a hillside position on Paddington’s southern flank, this property offers its new occupants a visual feast of architectural innovation and imagination run wild. From the serenity of the outdoor living sanctuary beside the inground pool, and through to the interior with its intriguing mix of unorthodox adornments and spatial ebb and flow, this is a house that never ceases to surprise. Blink and you might miss the traces of the original 1880′s building, or the pot belly stove annex, or the panoply of glass and colour variations to create ambience and light, or all those other nooks and crannies where conventional design is constantly challenged and reinvented.
