Buying a £20,000,000 London Apartment | Finest Interiors | Abode

[Music] the international elite are buying up london property in numbers never seen before you would never get this unless you're in the league of like a 50 million pound house this is amazing with such demand property developers are now selling fully furnished apartments for millionaires short on time at some level we are selling an entire lifestyle i mean the knife and forks are in the drawer there's the right vintage champagne in the fridge thank you but not every international client wants somebody else's interior vision what if the woman in the family is a working girl we don't actually do womanly has as a child i'm not sure if i want to use interior designer honestly nobody better than me knows what i want in the exclusive area of chelsea developers and new residents are finding their tastes at odds with the locals this is going to be a stir in steel and timber it's going to have leather treads really yeah it's very very expensive but one has to ask is it actually good taste i wanted to see the fish tank from the toilet the builders were horrified as new residents move in come on in the old guard is quietly moving out rather difficult for artists to stamp up for these sort of related learners but that's happened all over chelsea i think i fear because it's become so expensive [Music] as london's housing market continues to attract the international elite property developers are flourishing but whilst 10 years ago new homes were sold empty interior designers are now muscling in you can now buy an elite home with an elite lifestyle ready-made inside what we're coming to see today is some apartments um within the heart of mayfair for reasons of discretion we're not going to reveal the address or film the outside of the building okay so we could stop filming now sally mccarrith's an architect who's been working with a developer on a three-bedroom flat now selling for 16 million pounds this is the bit we can tell this is a piece i picked up from the 60s it's an italian piece that came from paris there are some pieces in the apartment that are extremely valuable that are on loan from some of the galleries in the area in this flat sally's pulled together millions of pounds of art and furniture all of which can be bought with the apartment it's a strategy known as turnkey development it's really just a device to give people the opportunity to just write the check walk in and and get on with it at this level of the market it's a very international buyer they probably have properties in all the cities you would expect they come to london and they say okay i've got two days i want to buy an apartment show me what you've got and what they don't want is to buy the same as everybody else i don't know i don't necessarily want these kind of incidental books sally speculates on who might buy the flat and creates a personality for them told through the interior we're responding to 20 year olds you see them driving around london up and down park lane in these kind of incredible car lamborghinis what they want is a level of credibility in their peer group books by the side of the bed the general debris of life stylish debris but uh it's it feels real to give any younger buyer a cultured look sally's even curated a 4 000 book library it's now about just having the right smattering of french philosophy a little bit of abstract art yes it's contrived but it's real incredible it adds credibility perhaps for the purchaser but sally's work is a gamble there's no guarantee that a new owner won't simply rip out everything she spent months putting in if somebody didn't want this would you have to crane it out again yes we have to make a best guess we don't know whether someone will want any of it that's any of the furniture any of the arts there's definitely an element of risk doing it like this but if we're right there are people who don't have the time but do possibly have the money to say i'll take the whole lot each project's success depends on sally correctly guessing any buyer's lifestyle get it right and they'll be falling over themselves to invest get it wrong and people won't look beyond the front room in chelsea she's beginning another ambitious and speculative turnkey project we know that diana was painted in this building we know that margaret thatcher was painted here we know oscar wilde used to hang out here we know the prince of wales came here prince of wales from the 1870s that is not the current prince of wales sally is developing this recently vacated artist studio into a turnkey home that marries artistic history with the trappings of super luxury right here next to that bean speak the walker in there look there's a kind of checklist if you like of things that people at this level of the market might be looking for gyms i don't go to a public gym it's what everyone calls the media room it's a cinema room really lots of comfortable furniture to sit on some beautiful art laundries and wine cellars and ski storage but what makes this apartment unique is the original double height painting studio this is the room that arguably sells the apartment i mean it's huge absolutely huge we're going for it a bit with this room because it feels like we kind of owe it to the building this is the room we've got to get right because we could get it so wrong it could be an absolute disaster i suppose like all sally's turnkey projects at this stage she has no idea who might live here we don't know who's going to buy this they could be american middle eastern russian i have no clue it's going to be someone i suspect a rather more flamboyant character who really sees himself living this kind of life um you know it's surely not to everyone's taste but uh we'll we'll see we'll see who it appeals to turnkey development is sweeping across the capital as the time poor super rich jet in for their weekend property deals come on come on come on guys let's go but not every client is in such a rush troy she's way too small for you she's way too small okay sorry julia is a russian expat with an estimated 20 million pound property empire and two dogs troy and boris boris know it's a national landmark ew [Music] london is a very very old city it has a soul but it's still kept a young personality we have properties in moscow we had until the recent time properties in america which were sold we don't see the point of keeping it so far and right now we have in one two three four five yes four properties in london but julia's now on the hunt for a new london home and has decided to look around a four million pound turnkey development near covent garden julia yes hi i'm paul from beach mistakes nice to meet you very nice to meet you how are you very very good the whole look and feel is like you know venetian palazzo or so it's it's very italian still a little bit theatrical yes they kept the theme definitely and the furniture is it finished okay as you see it that's what you get the interior design the entire package is sold with the apartment like sally this developer has curated an interior to wow potential buyers so this is the uh the main bedroom which is a different color nice touch base that's for the very particular taste this one table could be much much better much better it's eclectic you have to be very talented to put the collective pieces together because again it feels like it's bought in zara turnkey with julia seems to be a risky business if you are selling a flat almost 4 million you have to put more thoughts in a decoration you have to invest more even the wooden chairs it has to be completely different upholsting and it definitely won't be beige for every client who buys in a hurry perhaps there's also one who will pick everything apart look how much effort they put into this place okay for me wrong effort it's very seldom done right and look how quickly it could go wrong and it's so much remodeling involved in the future again there's a pub downstairs wow that's a neighbor for four million pounds there's a neighbor for you on a friday evening so no i won't buy this particular one [Music] london's place at the top of the international property market has sparked a flourish of building across the capital [Music] designers are now creating thousands of apartments offering ready-made london lifestyles but it's not for everyone come on in guys stay behind come on in after her visit to a turn-key development julia has bought a five-story townhouse that's untouched and empty what sold this house i love the idea of the open space the more open the better and from here you can see a little garden and i hope my four-legged family will be very happy there and i think it's very very english you know it's always my home my castle when you start a new house you always have to think what you want from the house and i know exactly what i want it has a ceiling light so if we will i don't know open and make all that light go down and maybe if we can put a very long chandelier i think it could make a very interesting wow point having already paid six million pounds for the house julia now wants to completely rebuild the inside oh that's a kitchen i want this house to shoot only two of us and of occasional guests so i want one room perform that's what i want and one more thing i want to dig and do the basement because look where will you fit the gym the sauna with ideas buzzing julia's off to choose an interior designer [Music] not a decision she's taking lightly it's very important decision because at the end of the day you will be working with this person non-stop for another year and a half at least and if i don't like the person it means he won't like me or she won't like me and that will be disaster maybe with a stronger woman i will reach my goal faster the strong woman top of her list is currently on a recce at london's luxury trade fair this is so cool i love that i really need a bachelor rachel how perfect for this for his roof terrace nicola fontanella has a reputation as one of london's most innovative interior designers this is good for the stage look at this like it's like sac how cool no but it's cool it is sad part of the recce today is to see what's out there what's coming up what we don't want to use because a lot of this is very commercial so it's very high street and we don't really do high street the only thing i hate about this is i can't bear the fixings why kind of look out out of the box most people don't understand where i'm coming from straight away and then it all comes together kind of like elizabethan rock and roll this trade show is showcasing the cutting edge of european interior design maybe it's just on the edge of being essex yeah you have to have gold plating because caviar against silver ruins the taste and these are bubble shots i think it's really rude that there isn't any caviar or vodka in there at all this is a verdi guatemala solid marble bathtub the lumper marble that this was carved from started life at eight tons the most expensive we've done was from a solid piece of rock crystal that was 625 000 pounds girls move come on no move move for nicola it's not quite cutting edge enough i know what you're thinking rachel but to be honest with you there's nothing here i don't like any of this this is pretty awful there's some things that i really think are just not for us but they'll do very well that's the whole point um but the show's not that inspiring honestly the fashion show yesterday morning was far more inspiring [Music] nicola is meeting julia for the first time it could be the start of a long relationship what we need to find out today is actually what she wants and we need to know what her style is we need to know her budget we need some time frame and we need to know that we can work together which is most important good to meet you nice to meet you would you like to thank you she might not even like me that's the other thing you know like a lot of clients a lot of clients you know i'm a bit like marmite they know i'm gonna make them a lot of money they don't necessarily like me but you know i'm somebody who gets the job done at last we finally meet have you had a tea and coffee yes thank you it's okay pleased to meet you very nice to meet you nicola fonsonella do you want to come through phoebe you asked julia if she'd like a drink i will be coffee will be nice thank you absolutely on the low ground floor will be the living room the kitchen and the dining room okay the kitchen does not have to be a very big one no because i'm not a great cook no okay but i like to entertain his and her dressing room exactly she's on hers but i would love to have a very big closet do you like his and her master bathroom are you quite happy having a master bathroom together it has to be big but it could be you know you're happy maybe a little bit of difficulty there because my husband likes very modern yeah and i um tend to incline to more traditional style i like to keep the details yes so that symbiosis will be probably hard to deliver yeah so we have a yin and yang scenario it sounds like the perfect marriage okay i want to deliver your dream i want you to have the best house i want you to be like so happy nichola delivered exactly what i wanted so i'll learn something from you when you're entering the chelsea house the staircase is the first thing you see so it has to be striking it has to be imposing but comfortable for us and for the dogs to go up yeah and the thing you mentioned about the dogs kind of worries me about how far did the dogs go up the house do they go into your bedroom area or are they are they allowed only on kitchen level yes they're allowed everywhere oh my goodness yes that's fine it's a challenge we know it's a challenge i never said that will be easy no no exactly at the high end the best way to choose your designer is to snoop around their previous work so julia what we did here this is a lateral apartment that's probably one of the best lateral apartments in london right now on the market you would never get this unless you're in the league of like a 50 million pound house so i know it's not your style it's a kind of modern article modern yeah i mean it was not really art deco it's really more classical because the black and white floors um are very classic of the period of a georgian property this two-story apartment has been developed as a turnkey and is on sale for 20 million pounds everything's bespoke we bespoke the kitchen so we've mixed a lot of different finishes we have polish walnuts this is um a stone that we use in miami actually so it's to give it a very different look because every kitchen is so boring this is all bronze inlay this is wonderful so all this design this is all bronze so most of the stuff here is done bespoke everything's done bespoke we don't have anything off the shelf no this is this is very impressive this is very impressive i like your attention to details okay you're right it's not my style i know it's not your style because everyone's unique is just to give you an idea of the detailing nicola has furnished the apartment from top to toe offering clients and their staff a complete home identity first they get a manual on how to clean everything and then the housekeeper will have a manual photograph of every shelf we photograph every shelf let me just explain so here we will photograph this how it has to look like how it has to look and then because most clients are buying a lifestyle and they love it like this and then the housekeeper will move this they'll move this and it will look horrendous so then we get called back to the house 10 times arranging accessories so now what i've learned over the years if i give them a manual this shelf looks like this so then if they want to put it back they can put it back or and generally i go back into people's homes five or six years later they're identical everybody wants turnkey they want to move in these people are always very busy they want they're moving both their own stuff they're moving with their suitcases at a much earlier stage of development this five-story mayfair townhouse will go on sale later this year are you okay yeah because i'm gonna be all destined for yeah but it's fine i like it all the time i have the dirtiest fur coats in london anyway so in here um this is going to be the pool is it necessary pretty standard out of like every ten houses eight of them that we're working on we'll have a pool spot area um massage it is usual so they basically don't need to go out ever no ever how much do you think project of this scale cost yes it would have cost about 10 million to do 10 million spend okay and they probably got 30 so the basically this particular house come fully furnished you know people will bring their own picassos and their own monet or damien hurst or whatever they're buying or collecting here you know we were in the study and you went oh the study is very masculine it's very much mayfair what if the woman in the family is a working girl will you do it all in pink we don't actually do work with many girly houses at all for julia this is not the creative partnership that she'd imagined will two opinionated women work well together i'm not sure about that and my husband is very involved in a project but i'm not sure he needs to be intimidated all the time designing one's dream home is no easy task regardless of the budget everyone has their own unique tastes and styles but when you're designing a house with no idea who will live in it it's even more difficult we're creating a home for the unknown unknown person which is you know a difficult thing at the best of times so sally mccarrath is still choosing the interior for her luxury artists studio most chandeliers are going to be drowned by that room it's just too huge we had the idea of clouds we could play safe and do just generic i don't know white ceilings and french grey walls and but we're not going to do that because this house was never that this was this extraordinary place with extraordinary creative people who cross the threshold um actually the challenge is how we communicate old chelsea and all the magic and all the stories that have happened here without making it like some old fussy old museum but we've actually got to repurpose it for the 21st century sally is trying to create a millionaire's vision of chelsea that celebrates its bohemian heyday [Music] and to advise her she's called upon a chelsea resident steeped in local history this is my my collection of chelsea books this is a very important pair of books which is the first history of chelsea written in 1829 by somebody called thomas faulkner without showing off at all i suppose i am i am considered an authority on chelsea some people call me mr chelsea but i think that's a bit extreme david lallay has lived in chelsea for 50 years the very name chelsea conjures up the idea of something artistic vaguely bohemian slightly risque and that's what chelsea lives off of course today it's neither artistic nor bohemian it's where the rich of the world lives nothing nothing in chelsea comes cheap might be very nice and very agreeable but cheap it ain't we don't have greg's in the kings road have you ever heard of griggs sally has called on david to advise her on the studio's historic details and this is going to be a a stir in steel and timber and brass and leather it's going to have leather treads yeah we're doing silver walls frederick the great light silver guild did you know that i'm good i mean as opposed to gold guilt um so what we're doing here is a new part very much a 21st century bit of the building it doesn't leaks [Laughter] in particular sally has a plan to restore the painting studio to its original bright yellow is there some truth in this rumor about the studio being yellow augustus charles howell described standing in this room like standing in the yolk of an egg i mean that's an extraordinary depth to the color and here's the here's this painting this is so this is is that a portrait in this room so what's it called the yellow room the piece that's right are you planning to paint it yellow that's the way well what we are planning to do is put yellow fabric all over the walls today it's much cheaper sally's ambition is somewhat at odds with david's more conservative tastes one thing that i do wonder is why this is being done when sally's client is a property speculator who's going to sell the property taste is very much in the eye of the beholder i just think that in this case an enormous amount of money is being spent just for the sake of spending money [Music] in central london where developers and interior designers are awash with work one lady is bucking the trend in her recently purchased six million pound townhouse russian expat julia has decided to go it alone in remodeling her home [Music] i don't even understand the idea coming and just buying already made up house i don't want anybody just to chuck everything inside and say this is your new home no that won't be home at least it won't be mine [Music] you're not invited her latest avenue of inspiration is her next-door neighbor is it okay people speak english yeah yeah absolutely taya johnson lives in an identical sized house to julia but has spent two years building an extra basement and double height living room such a big windows how hard is to open it it's very easy everything is controlled from the ipad so heating electricity everything so and we have english weather to come in she's gutted the chelsea interior and filled it with specially commissioned artwork from georgia these are all our children with their partners we have ten children the children in total so but seven living in the house three older ones you have a 10 you have 10 children yes 10 children in total between us incredible so that's the basement here is the loo so i wanted to see the fish tank from the toilet the builders were horrified said oh you can see everything so we had to add more slates but it's actually i wanted to see more there is a dining room on the other side so you don't want it to be the you know from dining room to see what's going on in it this is petrified most that's been injected with silicon this is incredible because i thought it's a tile no no it's real real moss sometimes it produces the smell of real moss and i think it's really yes so it's very very interesting i like like you use your own ideas you you know what you like and you go for that yes the effect is striking for julia tayer's model is an inspiring one i'm not sure if i want to use interior designer honestly because i'm not professional i can do whatever i want i'm not constricted by the rules i can go outside of the box maybe it won't be that bad i hope it won't be that bad for those that can afford to chelsea's artists studios and houses offer the chance to create extraordinary homes few other neighborhoods offer such unique spaces but for the few artists still remaining chelsea is perhaps becoming a more difficult place to live manhattan from new jersey 18 by 24 signed varnished stretched and friends serena's husband spent 45 years painting from this studio close to the thames i moved in with when we got married in in 1971 and we were paying 15 pounds a week but now a developer has bought the freehold of the building and she can't afford to contribute to its renovation they did give me fingers large figures i was actually quite out of the question financially so um decided i had to sell for the old guard in chelsea the ways of the international super-rich are all a bit bemusing they're digging under the garden thinking to put it back on top by the other basement i think is going to be a sort of media rooms i don't know just sort of underground living exercising aspect gyms isn't that what people want nowadays after almost 50 years serena is leaving chelsea for a smaller flat across the river do you want to take the chairs down yeah i hope everything's going to fit that's my big worry ah this is a i wanted to show you this is cecilia this is eugenie and that's me there a wonderful place to bring out the children already definitely miss it and there'll be big changes so it would be a very different place from what what i know with four months to go until her artist studio completes sally is in paris with her assistant hannah on a continental shopping trip quite like it it's got the leather were you thinking for the for the studio the main space could that work in one of the bedrooms it makes you smile oh yeah oh hannah look at this it's suede inside it's so 1970. i love coming here it's really inspiring there's a mixture of seriously old pieces and gallery settings it's very very expensive and then you see some terrible things and i quite like the mad cacophony of it all you know it's part of the fun is unearthing things wow look at those acrylic chairs fantastic certainties of creatures sally is trying to attract a buyer with aspirations to be part of old bohemian chelsea would it fit there no for sure yeah that's neat when you walk into a home that is incredibly stylish you probably make certain assumptions about what that person does and the people that come and sit around their dining table and really what we're trying to do is appeal to that and that is a difficult thing to do sally's plan is to create an eclectic interior where every piece of furniture tells a story this will create the illusion of a lifetime of adventure and artistry for any possible owner just like a stylist might dress a hollywood celebrity for the oscars they don't choose what dress to wear nor what jewelry to put with it it is done for them and i guess at some level we are taste makers she will travel thousands of miles spending hundreds of thousands of pounds and in croatia she will even explore a hidden world of buried timber is slabs of tree that we're going to be looking at it's been buried in the mountain for 8 000 years which is an incredible thing sally is planning a dining room table made from bog oak fall and oak trees that have been submerged in a riverbed for millennia normally only found in sizes suitable for chess pieces or pipes sally's found one of the few places on earth where there are planks big enough for a table a diver is sent down into the river to look for this wood and if they're lucky enough to find some sling a rope around it and pull it up and then they spend years drying it it's very very precious the blacker the timber the older it is [Music] this wood is just fun and it really is special that's going to give us the idea that there's a timeline from one end of the table to the other so that you start with eight thousand year old oak and you almost move towards the end of the table to slightly younger wood still six thousand years old when you pass the salt down the table it's 2 000 years it actually travels down to the end of the table oh it's pretty good actually at this level of the market there's an understanding that it's not about the money you spend it's the story the fact it's entirely bespoke it's not a disposable vulgar wealthy dripping in gold and shiny marble that's not what this is about it's a one-off [Music] sally's desire for a one-off has led to ambitious design decisions including covering an entire room in bright yellow satin her next stop is milan where she's persuaded an italian company to produce the material especially for her [Music] there's a lot riding on this moment i suppose but i'm excited to see what's going to come out looking a little orange yes so here's where we're headed okay i can't bear it let's have a look yeah okay i'm just gonna do this i mean it's a lot darker than what i'm holding in my hand by the time 120 meters come off the roll better have been a good decision you're telling me that it's going to come out exactly like that nervous sally don't worry don't worry at all despite all this effort sally knows that if she gets it wrong any new buyer might simply rip out all her hard work it's not even that we have a client who said that's absolutely what i want we're second guessing um the reaction people might have they may dislike a piece of art they may not like the color of some of the rooms who knows it's speculative and that's the nature of it [Music] following her inspirational snoop around her neighbor's house julia is out shopping i already started looking for some ideas i've been in quite a few shops in terms of the textiles in terms of the furniture today i would probably will be more interested in a technological side hello hello hi hi julia's house must suit her her husband and two very large dogs that will be lovely thank you i like when fridge is big because as i said i store a lot of i have a dog and my dogs you eat raw food so i need a lot of storage for the freezer if you look at these apples that's been in there since october six months yes oh my god okay this isn't this is very impressive it's something that was designed by nasa oh interesting you catering for nasa yes yeah this is a fridge freezer i've known ladies that put one in the bedroom so they keep their face creams and stuff in but that's pretty good out there very interesting i love the idea julia's vision is for a very 21st century version of chelsea life outside my house will look the same but on the inside i would like to change as much as possible our house has to be more than has to be comfortable hi i'm julia i'm just passing so in magazines people are using a lot of leather as a decoration not only on the walls but also on the floor so they basically if i'm right now torn between the wooden floor you know staircase which is quite slippery for my four-legged family so leather is a good idea i think so too and for the clothes yes no problem oh please don't tell me the whole bathroom and leather so how often clients asking for the leather loo well the toilet itself is probably extreme but for the bathtubs it's just the super high-end luxury market for some truly space-age ideas julia is heading to a small shop just off oxford street [Music] i don't think your buzzer is working it is working but uh it's fingerprint recognition come in please philip hein runs cornflake which showcases the latest in smart home technology so here we are we have a mirror tv here and at the moment we have the cctv okay outside camera just change the angle correct because what we have here is a tracking camera if it sees the same face in say half an hour more than three times it can send you an alert there might be someone more interested in unnecessary correct correct so yeah right so now we'll go into the drawing room i have two sharpies yes so what kind of you know technology and will be will they be affected so we can program the computers feed the dog you can give the dog water you can even get devices now that will throw the ball how lazy you have you have to get oh no okay you can also you can also get devices um that you attach to the collar that will give you the the heart rate if the dog is lonely they have like a little camera and i can talk to them yes i've seen that as well yes i've seen that as well so we'll go through here to the bar and games room area okay lovely we can control anything from anywhere in the world people spend a great deal of money i mean refurbs for for us when we're working with a client they may spend 10 million pounds on a refurb they might spend 20 million pounds on a refurb 20 million refurbishing yeah okay so yes so this is our uh our cinema we have a system over the coming months julia will visit hundreds of shops and snoop around many more neighbors houses while she is only a small player in the london property market she'll use hundreds of craftsmen and artisans to help her realize her uniquely modern chelsea dream the international buyers bring in the different ideas here especially the one who wants to improve the property they bought so they hiring you know the upscale international designers who wants to bring something new something innovative something more interesting it's brilliant because london is moving forward it's advancing in technologies in craftsmanship and that's a big plus for london because i don't think english people want to invest that much in interior design and i think it's sad over in sally's studio development her precious yellow fabric has arrived it's not bad color i mean i think it'll be a bit much but it's not a bad color fantastic oh my goodness it's extraordinary isn't it it doesn't even look like fabric absolutely amazing it's subtle and intriguing i suppose that's that's exactly what i wanted it to be good job guys how do you get it so tight it'll take another month for the rest of sally's furniture to arrive and for her ambitious if risky project to complete sure it's much safer to do what everybody else does but you know if you just sort of take every project and do it in a generic way uh then you know why bother i'm not interested in projects like that um we need something that actually sets it apart from everything else it's not long before all the noise has attracted mr chelsea himself [Music] what do you think [Music] [Laughter] thank god i believe anyway you can see but the fabric walls aren't the only thing david has to stomach there's only one in the whole world and it's made from plastic cable ties plastic cable ties don't you just love it [Laughter] david's even arrived on the same day that the bog oak table is delivered it's been carbon dated between seven and eight thousand years old it comes with a certificate a thousand years eight thousand years old it's pretty humbling actually whoa it's good the bro the brass was the bit i was really worried about so what we've done is we've poured in where it's naturally split you can see it's here actually this is very very nice i like this brass infill that makes it into a work of art doesn't it a stroke of genius really filling it with with brass like that looks great for david it's perhaps all a little overwhelming something which i've never encountered before is dressing up one might say a flat or a house full for sale in such an extravagant and expensive way i i suppose i i find myself not very in tune with the modern you know the modern idea of interior design which is sort of very very sort of quirky for sally this is another chapter in the rejuvenation of london's historical streets and the natural evolution of chelsea's neighborhood let's not pretend that this is a new phenomenon that this is foreigners moving in and taking over our city and we we have no benefits refurbishing old buildings is a very expensive business time and time again people trot out this you know foreign money it's bad we don't want it it's too easy to say that there's an aspect of this that i feel very proud to be part of you know we are actually breathing new life into old buildings as long as london's property remains the safest place for international investment developers and international clients will continue to transform these exclusive streets for some this will spell the end of a community so this is going yeah this there's that's going i've emptied them because i thought it would be better and i've emptied the desk too beautiful hiding under the sofa for many years the building was purpose built for artists and artists to be able to live and work it is sad to see the purpose of the building go but that's happened all over chelsea i think i fear because it's become so expensive whilst for others it will simply mark the beginning of a new community oh look at this i love this street and this is former art studios original family i think still live there or maybe lived until the recent times
