A unique window into the stunning private home of internationally acclaimed design duo Patrik Fredrikson and Ian Stallard, this remarkable Clerkenwell space belongs to two of Britain’s most influential contemporary designers, whose pieces are held in the V&A and MoMA.

A stunning and unique property, this space of two halves sits behind private gates on a peaceful, unassuming street and spans more than 4,000 square feet. Conceptualised to reflect its history as a former Victorian workshop on the ground floor, and a pared-back, tranquil home upstairs, the two spaces come together to embody the duo’s design philosophy and vision.

Deeply atmospheric, the ground floor area is full of character and artistic integrity, much like the work of Fredrikson Stallard. Distinguished for their sculptural, highly collectable works, which blur the line between functional design and art, the space speaks to their authentic design language, rooted in material honesty, bold form and a sense of controlled drama.

Located on Warner Street, and also serving as the pair’s working studio, the Clerkenwell building has been central to Fredrikson Stallard’s practice for the past 14 years. What began as a former carriage wheel workshop has developed into a layered and immersive setting. The architecture and ambience retain a distinctly Dickensian character, while the contemporary sculptural pieces are fully integrated into day-to-day functionality.

Located in one of London’s most design-led neighbourhoods, the property is approached via a covered courtyard. Double-height ceilings on the ground floor, which is currently being used as a gallery and studio, give the space a sense of theatre and atmosphere, while the succession of exhibition-style rooms unravel like a private gallery, complete with a ceramics studio and additional versatile workspaces. The aforementioned Japanese-inspired courtyard garden, finished in Italian travertine with dramatic fountains, anchors the property with both style and serenity.

Once upstairs, the property reveals its docile, domestic side, with a charmingly understated kitchen, dining and private entertaining space featuring oak parquet flooring, dusky marble and elegant bespoke cabinetry. With a focus on light and craftsmanship, the space has an authentic, natural flow and feel.

The design of the principal rooms puts the spotlight on tactile surfaces and discreet, muted detailing, reflecting the pair’s commitment to ‘material honesty’. The bathrooms are finished with solid marble and hand-finished patinated steel cabinetry throughout.

One of the property’s most fascinating features is its beautiful private garden, which is unlike any other urban yard. Envisioned as a land art installation, it has been planted with 200 silver birch trees and was a finalist for BBC Gardeners’ World Garden of the Year.

While the location gives the home a sense of peaceful seclusion, it also sits just minutes from Exmouth Market, Sadler’s Wells and Spa Fields, with top-rate connectivity via Farringdon and the Elizabeth Line, offering direct access to Heathrow and Gatwick.

Patrik Fredrikson and Ian Stallard comment: “For 14 years, our studio in London has been far more than just a place where we work; it has evolved into one of our greatest and most immersive creations. It is a living, breathing environment that completely dissolves the boundary between our lives and our art. This space acts as a sanctuary that allows us to push the limits of material and form without compromise.

“Every small detail of the building has been deeply considered — exquisite materials, timeless and elegant contrasts of noble materials together with metals and stones, often patinated and burnished by our own hands.

“One of the biggest luxuries of the space is that we have crafted it to become totally private and calm. Being surrounded by trees, birdsong and the sounds of fountains has the restorative nature of the countryside, yet we remain in the heart of London. Alongside the calm, it has also been the stage for many immersive experiences, hosting hundreds of guests for spectacular launches and events.”

Becky Fatemi, executive partner at UK Sotheby’s International Realty, comments: “This is one of those spaces that completely defies expectation. From the outside, it feels discreet and almost hidden, but once inside, it opens into something incredibly expansive and immersive. It is as much a creative environment as it is a place to work and spend time, and that is what makes it so rare.

“For international buyers in particular, there is a growing appetite for spaces that offer more than just beautiful interiors. They want something with identity and flexibility, somewhere that can evolve with how they create, work and spend time. This feels like a private creative campus in the heart of Clerkenwell, which is something you simply do not come across.”

Darcy Hunt, sales director at UK Sotheby's International Realty, adds: “What has been most striking is the immediate, almost visceral reaction from those who experience it for the first time. As you step through the entrance courtyard, with the golden sculpture catching the light and setting the tone for what lies beyond, there is a genuine moment of pause. It is rare, even at the very top end of the market, to see a space create that kind of emotional response so instantly.

"What we are witnessing in the ultra-prime global market is a decisive shift away from conventional luxury towards spaces with true authorship, provenance and cultural relevance. Buyers at this level are no longer simply acquiring property; they are curating a portfolio of experiences and environments that reflect who they are. They want rarity, they want narrative and above all they want something that cannot be replicated.

“This is where Warner Street sits in a category of its own. It is not a product of trend or a developer’s interpretation of design, but an evolving work shaped over many years by Patrik and Ian. That depth of creative integrity is something the international market immediately recognises and values. In many ways, opportunities like this sit at the intersection of the art market and prime property — and that is precisely where we are seeing the strongest demand globally. Warner Street speaks directly to that audience, offering not just a place, but a legacy."
