A porthole window to the new shower, a timber decked balcony and slatted sun canopy created a nautical feel to the bedroom and balcony of this refurbished maisonette in Notting Hill Gate. The flat consists of the top three floors of a Victorian terraced house and the top floor is the master bedroom and shower room suite. Shoes and clothes storage and a slim shower room maximized usable space. The south-facing balcony has views over Notting Hill and provides the essential external space in the flat.
