A Window of Opportunity
MAITLAND COURT
MAITLAND COURT LANCASTER GATE
DESIGN PROPOSAL
Introduction
An exceptional top-floor penthouse spanning 2,439 sq ft, offering stunning views across Hyde Park and the Italian Gardens. Set within a prestigious portered building in Bayswater, the property benefits from lift access, 24/7 concierge, private allocated parking, a balcony, and an impressive roof terrace.
Currently arranged as five bedrooms and three bathrooms, the apartment is presented in need of modernisation, offering significant scope to create a superb lateral home. Its generous proportions, flexible layout, and abundance of natural light make it perfectly suited for reconfiguration into a highquality contemporary residence tailored to individual taste.
Ideally located moments from Hyde Park and the regeneration of Queensway, the property enjoys a prime position in one of central London’s most sought-after and evolving neighbourhoods.
The Landmass Design Team’s ultimate goal is to position this unique property by highlighting and preserving its distinctive character while enhancing the flow and quality of space, ensuring the design complements the calibre that the penthouse demands.
Please note: All architecture and interior designs are subject to planning permission and a Licence to Alter. If required, we can submit a pre-planning application upon request.
Design Overview
The two proposed layouts explore more efficient use of the available space, with each bedroom designed as an en-suite to meet the standards of luxury living. The principal bedroom is enhanced with increased space, a defined dressing room, and a refined master bathroom, while the living area and conservatory have also been enlarged.
The kitchen has been reconfigured with improved organisation, featuring a bar counter with stools to enhance functionality.
The key difference between the two options lies in the number of bedrooms, with the second option offering four bedrooms instead of three.
