Дом дизайнера Росса Лавгроува (Ross Lovegrove)

Notting Hill, London

The home of Ross Lovegrove 

Известный английский промышленный дизайнер Росс Лавгроув,
 который себя называет индуст­риальным биологом и разрабатывает мебель,
ковры, часы,  сантехнику  и  придумывает  пластиковые  бутылки,  продает
 свой дом в центральной части Лондона в районе Ноттинг-Хилл (Notting Hill)
 площадью 5,000 кв. футов, который скорее можно назвать
музеем современного дизайна.

The 5,000 sq ft Notting Hill, London home and working studio of architect
 and product designer Ross Lovegrove is for sale via Domus Nova and all
 I can say is WHOA. I would prefer to call it a museum.

Четырехэтажная студия со всей обстановкой выставлена на продажу за $18 000 000.
 Строение, которое когда-то было частью фабрики,  владелeц превратил в светлую
студию с тремя спальнями, гостиной и небольшим садом на крыше. Все этажи
соединяет лестница-ДНК работы Лавгроува. Пол студии из стеклопластика,
 раковины из углепластика, раздвижные двери — в деталях
 читается оригинальный стиль Лавгроува. 

This three storey former steel framed factory building, which was originally created by Richard Seifert and later reconfigured and extended by Miska Miller has played host to the creation of some of Ross Lovegrove’s most significant product designs and today remains a design archive of pieces that were created specifically for the property and have never been produced elsewhere. 

Central to the success of the redevelopment of this late 1950’s commercial building was the addition of the much feted ‘DNA Staircase’. Locating workspaces on the ground floor to allow for direct access from the street, the upper floors were designed to follow the principles of upside down living, with the bedrooms and study areas on the central floor and the entire top of the building given over to one 30m living and dining areas. 

Elsewhere, integral details such as the kitchen cabinetry, which was created from honeycombed fibreglass aircraft flooring, the carbon fibre sinks in the bathrooms and the huge 2.5m sliding doors on each room will remain in the building as a testament to Miller and Lovegrove and their love of utilitarian design.
