Tom Dixon Studio’s ‘Tower House’ in West London’s Kensington area brings avant-garde architecture to a whole new level, or rather to an above ground level. Although the abandoned structure was once used to contain and filter water, the designers have re-purposed it in the interest of upscale housing.
Tower House’s 7 meter diameter and 60 ft height have accommodated the creation of a remarkable living space. The two floors include a kitchen, living room, bathroom, two bedrooms and a stunning terrace that overlooks the Notting Hill neighborhood.
These domestic spaces lend an element of practicality to the spherical abode in spite of the over-the-top blueprints that lie at the heart of this Tom Dixon venture.
