david adjaye designed the home, which is being listed by sotheby’s, to include outdoor gardens and a fish pond that bring light and views inside the residence. the ground floor also contains a bedroom which can also be used as an office. the house’s lower level contains a guest bedroom, with a shower room, as well as the main bedroom with a dressing room, wet room, steam room, and an enclosed swimming pool. the house also has a large garage with two parking spaces.

color has been used to great effect throughout the home. in the living space, the wall to the bedrooms and the ceiling are stained black, matching the resin floor, while the kitchen, storage and seating areas are in a range of earthy tones. each bedroom is a different color, while the pool is painted matte black. the home’s listing, which can be seen here, states that previous owners have featured the house in fashion shows, TV series, and filmography — offering income opportunities.
