New Face of Modern Mayfair

Designed by “starchitect” Graham Stirk and the team from Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, with interior design by David Collins Studio and MSMR, the spacious 1,603.8 square foot three bedroom apartment, launched for sale in Burlington Gate at 25 Cork Street, represents the cool and stylish new face of modern Mayfair says selling agent Wetherell.

Providing a vivid contrast to the brick and stone Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian mansion blocks and townhouses of traditional Mayfair, Burlington Gate offers cutting-edge modern architecture, with the three bedroom apartment being one of 42 luxury residences, including a generous lobby and lounge area with 24-hour concierge and on the lower ground leisure floor a state-of-the-art gym, Bodyism spa, air-conditioned fitness facility, treatment/beauty room and parking.

Wetherell say that a new generation of ultra-modern apartments and buildings like Burlington Gate are being launched in Mayfair to respond to the transformed age demographic and buyer profile of households within London’s most esteemed neighbourhood. Some 60% of Mayfair’s residents are now aged between 25-44, compared to the post-WWII period when 50 to 70-somethings dominated the housing market ^[1].

In addition, Wetherell observe that Mayfair’s mid-20 to mid-30 something households are from over 40 nationalities around the world, with residents originating from Qatar, Hong Kong, continental Europe, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, India, America, Abu Dhabi, with many buyers choosing newly built luxury homes with hotel-like leisure amenities.

Burlington Gate is a response to these shifting buyer demographics. The external nine-storey façade of Burlington Gate is a sophisticated composition of full height glazing, black mica-concrete, polished steel and handmade bricks, with the expanses of glazing and good ceiling height giving the three bedroom apartment, which spans the depth of the building, an extremely bright and airy ambience.

Bordered by a wall of full height glazing the open-plan reception room is designed with relaxation and entertaining in mind, with a cosy living area formed by a purple-gem coloured crescent shaped sofa and feature chairs, polished wenge coffee tables and media screen built into bespoke joinery and shelving. There is also a contemporary 8-10 seat dining table and an open plan family kitchen with dark timber clad central island/breakfast bar, units and cabinets.

The principal bedroom suite has a generously sized bedroom with full height glazing, a walk-in dressing room with bespoke joinery and a main bathroom with a marble feature wall, sculptural freestanding bathtub and separable marble walk-in shower. There is also a guest bedroom suite with ensuite bathroom, a further double bedroom and a guest powder room/family bathroom.

The tailored apartment specification includes bespoke glass windows, textured metal and wood joinery pieces, marble and travertine finishes, engineered Oak flooring, underfloor heating, “intelligent” heating system and innovative art-gallery style ceiling lighting.

Accessed by a covered gallery and spacious central courtyard, the entrance foyer and communal areas are designed by Hudson & Mercer, with dark wood panelling complemented by deep pile carpets and elegant artwork, with elevators rising dramatically up through a central lightwell. There are 50 electric car charging points in the underground parking complex.
