CHELSEA BARRACKS
A FORMER BARRACKS IN LONDON TURNED ALLURING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD
Unveiled to the public for the first time in 150 years, Chelsea Barracks has been transformed from a dilapidated British Army barracks into a coveted residential neighbourhood boasting a holistic lifestyle. Developed by Qatari Diar Europe, the sprawling 12.8-acre historic site is now home to a collection of apartments, townhouses, penthouses and mews houses, as well as The Garrison Club – a state-ofthe-art amenity offering that includes a 12,700sqft private spa, a 20-metre swimming pool, a tepidarium, a cinema and more, with 24-hour concierge service for residents.
With its furnished show residence revealed late last year, interior design studio Elicyon’s painstaking aesthetic approach is evident in every corner of the luxury abode. While paying tribute to the site’s military heritage with a palette of blues inspired by the Chelsea Pensioners’ navyblue undress uniforms, the property also features exquisite detailing, such as a sophisticated ivory canvas dotted with accents of gold that exudes a sense of timeless elegance, as well as bespoke joinery taking its cue from the nearby Chelsea Bridge. Among several units, this 4,300sqft dwelling with a soaring 2.8-metre-high ceiling includes four en suite bedrooms, two living rooms, a dining room, a cinema room, a study, and a kitchen complete with top-notch lighting fixtures and appliances. For this property, the icing on the cake is the ethereal public gardens, spanning five acres.
於150年來首次向公眾揭開面紗的Chelsea Barracks，從殘舊的英軍兵營搖身一變成為提供完整生活配套的全新住宅區。這個擁有悠久歷史的12.8英畝項目由Qatari Diar Europe開發，以一系列的住宅、聯排別墅、頂層公寓和馬廄住屋組成。供住戶專享的尊貴會所The Garrison Club設施一應俱全，當中包括大12,700呎的私人溫泉浴場、20米長游泳池、溫水浴場與電影院等等，更提供24小時禮賓服務。
剛於去年年底揭幕的示範單位配備豪華傢具，由室內設計工作室Elicyon打造的每個角落都彰顯出奢華美學的精髓。Chelsea Barracks以切爾西退休軍官的海軍藍色制服為靈感，以藍色調向此軍事遺址致敬的同時不乏精緻細節，例如，室內以象牙配金色帆布作點綴，以及靈感來自切爾西橋的訂制精細木工，散發出永恆優雅感。這個佔地4,300呎的住宅獨有2.8米高的樓底，內設四間連浴室的睡房、兩個客廳、一個飯廳、電影院、書房和廚房，廚房還配有一流的照明燈具和設備。佔地5英畝的戶外公共花園讓整個物業配套錦上添花。
