Knightsbridge masterpiece by Studio KO brings museum-calibre design to Lowndes Square

A rare example of architectural artistry and interior innovation has come to market in one of London’s most prestigious garden squares.

A meticulously reimagined three-bedroom apartment on Lowndes Square, with interiors designed by the acclaimed Studio KO – the visionaries behind the Musée Yves Saint Laurent in Marrakech – is now listed for £4.95 million through Beauchamp Estates.
Lowndes Square’s prestigious history includes past residents such as George Brodrick, the 3rd Viscount Midleton, and Captain Leonard Plugge, whose residence was used as the filming location for Performance starring Mick Jagger.

More recently, the square featured in Alan Hollinghurst’s Booker Prize-winning novel The Line of Beauty.

BOLD REINVENTION

Measuring 1,407 sq ft and set on the third floor of a white-stucco fronted period building within the historic Cadogan Estate, the property combines classical Knightsbridge architecture with avant-garde design in a striking homage to modernist living.

The apartment’s design narrative draws directly from Studio KO’s celebrated aesthetic, which blends sculptural minimalism with rich natural textures – a style that has captured the attention of clients including Hermès, the Agnelli family, André Balazs and Francis Ford Coppola.

In London, their name became synonymous with bold reinvention following their work on Chiltern Firehouse, and their design of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent, which won the Wallpaper Award for Best Public Building, cemented their place on the international stage.

DESIGN AND AMBITION

This Knightsbridge apartment channels similar design ambition. Described as resembling “an art installation in the Tate Modern,” the property is at once tactile and serene – a masterclass in spatial drama and curated detail.

A wall of walnut panelling balances a full-length mirrored wall, visually doubling the lateral space and throwing light across the room.

A black minimalist fireplace punctuates the space, while a bespoke yellow, blue and green geometric carpet adds a vivid mid-century flourish. Burnt-orange velvet sofas, leather window seating, and layered lighting elevate the space into a sensory living gallery.

NATURAL MATERIALITY

In the bedroom suite, Studio KO has drawn again on natural materiality: the principal bedroom’s palette of mustard, forest green and Yves Klein blue is grounded by a rugged timber headboard and dressed with views onto the square.

The adjoining dressing room (currently the third bedroom) leads into a bold en-suite with chevron tiling, cobalt walls, and a freestanding sculptural tub.

PERFORMANCE GROUNDED

This is not a home that conforms – it performs. And its performance is grounded not just in visual style but architectural pedigree.
