Glebe Place

This new build house in Chelsea occupies a prominent corner site on Glebe Place. It is around the corner from a Voysey house and diagonally opposite a house by Phillip Webb in which Kubrick directed his last film Eyes Wide Shut.

Plain oak and painted panelled wainscoting, bronze casements with leaded lights, base bed Portland stone floors, barrel-vaulted ceilings, clay peg tiles, bath stone, pebble dash and exposed oak trusses were used in this immersive study of the techniques and technology of the Arts and Crafts movement.

“New houses of this quality are rare in London, and Gorst has responded to his commission with verve.”
