This breathtaking duplex apartment, extending to over 230 sq m in size, has been refurbished to exacting standards by the interior designer Anneke Beckord. It can be found in the Piper Building, a former 1950s industrial building close to the Thames in Fulham that was converted by the renowned architects Lifschutz Davidson. It is now a gated, private block of large apartments. The complex includes an extensive secure parking area, an on-site health club and a communal rooftop garden. The building, which has been the subject of numerous awards due to the success of the conversion, is so-called because of its renowned murals by the artist John Piper that cover the exterior.The apartment, arranged over two floors, has at its heart an amazing double-height reception space. The original concrete structure, which has been retained,  provides exceptional ceiling heights and well-proportioned spaces. Floor-to-ceiling glass on both sides of the apartment make this an exceptionally light and open place in which to live. These qualities have been emphasised by the clean lines of Beckord's concise yet rich design. American oak floors throughout have been given a white oil finish and storage solutions have been custom-made to provide discreet but practical space. The majority of fittings throughout the apartment have been imported from Germany and installed by German specialists. The kitchen is equipped to professional standards. Audio visual systems, including a roll-up cinema screen and integrated speakers, have been fitted throughout.The Piper Building is well-located in West London, close to the Thames and the shops, restaurants and underground station at Parsons Green. It is close to the green space of South Park and Hurlingham Park. The property is leasehold (999 years from 01/07/96). The property comes with one off-street secure parking space (more can be rented if needed).
