Peaceful and tree-lined, Rutland Gate is a quiet enclave that belies its close proximity to the vibrant heart of Knightsbridge and South Kensington. Such tranquil atmosphere is effortlessly carried inside this three-bedroom duplex, with a carefully considered material palette and an abundance of glazing. Rutland Gate is one of Knightsbridge’s most established addresses — tree-lined, quiet and just a short walk from Hyde Park. In this three-bedroom duplex apartment, considered design and streamlined technologies are set for modern city living. The living room has a bold, thoroughly modern feel. Making the most of its first-floor vantage point, full-width windows line one wall; a full-height slatted walnut screen defines the other, anchoring the room and concealing the staircase behind it. Dark-stained oak parquet runs underfoot throughout, contrasting with the whitewashed walls and neutral furniture. Punchy in design and streamlined in function, the open-plan kitchen and dining room makes a statement on the ground floor. A marble-topped waterfall island centres the space, while dark stained wood cabinetry and sleek integrated appliances complete the picture. Adjacent, a relaxed eating area features a convivial bench set-up, while natural light pours through the wall-to-wall glazing. Minimalism ensues in the principal bedroom suite, with its pared-back tones and brightly sunlit atmosphere. A padded headboard brings softness to the setting, with a wall-mounted television facing opposite. Neat storage is provided in the walk-in wardrobe, while an en suite bathroom is wrapped entirely in marble – setting the scene for a sculptural freestanding tub. Two further bedrooms – one en suite and one served by an additional bathroom – complete the home, both crafted with restrained materials and reams of sunlight.
