The western side of London has long been seen as the area in which to find some of the city's most desirable residences, with its parkland, riverside vistas and convenient access to amenities.
That reputation continues with the addition of stylish Augusta House, part of the prestigious Kew Bridge West development, which combines all the attractions of modern living with a touch of history and architectural flair.
Arranged over seven floors, an enticing selection of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments is available, plus a distinctive three-bedroom duplex penthouse. All apartments have generous external space in the form of a private terrace or balcony, while different configurations feature en-suite bathrooms and separate studies.
'Acting as one of the gatehouses for the development, Augusta House is characterised by an eye-catching full-height curved turret,' says Peter Murray, director of residential at Jones Lang LaSallle, which is marketing the project in Hong Kong. 'Altogether, seven apartment buildings radiate in perfect symmetry in a crescent from a private, enclosed inner courtyard. And communal spaces within the development take their inventive design inspiration from the nearby Kew Gardens.'
Murray notes that each home has the high-quality design, layout and finish that are the hallmark of developer St James. As a result, they represent the ultimate in comfort and 'statement living'.
For interiors, the guiding principle has been to maximise light and space. Special thought has also been given to choosing a complementary palette of colours, plus materials and fittings of the highest specifications.
Custom-designed fitted kitchens stand out for their crisp, clean lines. Cabinets and cupboards are in either dark-stained or bleached-style oak, or a high-gloss white finish, all of which neatly match the tiled flooring. There are also glass splash-backs, single bowl stainless steel sinks and integrated appliances including a fridge-freezer, dishwasher and Smeg oven and four-ring hob.
