A Philip Pank Design in London - £3,250,000
Torriano Cottages
London NW5
At the end of this quiet 19th-century cul-de-sac lies an exceptional example of modern movement design. The house was designed and built in 1966-67 by the architect Philip Pank. Pank’s seminal London home is being offered for sale for the first time in its history, along with his adjoining studio, an annexe, a garage and an adjoining garden plot. The house and studio space are supremely successful exercises in the blurring of inside and outside, making use of the external, either visually or spatially, wherever possible. There are four gardens connected to the house, the largest being the roof garden, where almost 1,200 sq ft is given to lawn and terrace. From the former conservatory, a pergola protrudes, supporting a mass of mature vines, and to the south lies a pond.
