Luxurious Mews Show Home Unveiled Near Regent’s Park

Delivered by internationally renowned designer Alex Kravetz, the doors to the first fully furnished Garden Villa show residence at Regent's Crescent have been opened, just moments from Regent’s Park in one of central London’s most coveted residential locations.

Arranged over three floors with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows maximising the unfolding garden views, these contemporary Garden Villas are a rare offering in the capital – m-ws style living, with access to all the benefits of a large luxury development, such as 24-hour concierge, underground valet parking and a private 12-seat cinema on the doorstep. Owners will enjoy the privacy of their own front door and garden path, but also use of over 9,000 sq ft of private residents' amenities; spa, swimming pool, treatment room, gym, business suite and Pilates studio.

The two-bedroom residence, which spans 1,864 sq ft, is one of only eight remaining Garden Villas by architects PDP London. Featuring moody lighting and plush seating, Kravetz has created an attractive reception area on the ground floor for welcoming family and friends. While celebrating a thoroughly modern aesthetic, the Villas have a strong connection to the outside landscape; statement botanical wallpaper and a skylight drawing sunlight down to the lower ground floor provide a sense of feeling ensconced by the natural world. Further nods to biophilia are echoed in rich and heavily textured fabrics such as woven green leather. Upstairs, the principal bedroom acts as the ultimate party refuge with a tall vertical panelled headboard with gold leaf wrapped curves, and the light from the hallway skylight above flowing through the room to create the feeling of double aspect.

A colour palette of earthy greens and blues has been chosen throughout to reflect the natural environment and evoke feelings of relaxation, peace, and harmony, whilst pops of vibrant contemporary artwork mimic colourful flowers in a garden scene. Accent colours feature fleetingly in the furniture of the Garden Villa too; a cosy burnt orange chair in the living room makes a statement and the double-height bookcase wall bridges together the two main living areas and elevates the space, physically. Kravetz has lined the back of the bookcase with a large mirror to reflect the gardens opposite and to expand the room, so when owners are working from home and retreating to the alcove they are surrounded by greenery. These architectural 'nooks' are flexible in their use to suit changing lifestyles, from a relaxing reading corner to the ideal Zoom background for work calls.

Interior designer Alex Kravetz commented: “The open-plan kitchen faces an informal living room with an intimate seated dining area in an alcove on the right. It was important to create a social space in every room of the house, and in this residence the fireplace is centrally positioned to create ambiance. The Garden Villa lends itself perfectly to entertaining; guests enter the home with a champagne arrival on the ground floor followed by dinner to be hosted in the 'den' on the lower ground floor, and dinner party games thereafter.”

Ian Law, partner at architectural designers PDP London, commented: “London has previously been known for its quaint traditional mews houses, but these Garden Villas offer a refined take on a classic way of living in the capital, they satisfy the desire to live in an individual home by retaining a proximity to private garden space and your own front door, creating a sense of freedom in a Prime Central London location.”

The private garden, which sits behind the Grade I Listed regency crescent façade has been thoughtfully landscaped by garden designer Bowles & Wyer and is overlooked by the Garden Villas. Owners will have access to the gardens, a large, secluded area with a series of grass terraces, immediately reachable from their front door and visible through the front aspect of the properties.
As well as the private resident's gardens, Villa owners will also be moments from Regent's Park, one of London's Royal Parks, and a stone's throw from Park Crescent, a gated private neighbourhood park with over eight acres of space.

With  two or three bedrooms, each Garden Villa is arranged over three floors with views overlooking the private gardens. Prices start from £5.15million. Find out more at www.cit.co.uk.
