Almacantar unveils new Oliver Burns-designed show apartment at The Bryanston

07 Jul 2026 | |By Kari Colmans

As the pipeline of large-scale luxury residential developments continues to contract, this home boasts commanding southerly vistas across historic parkland and the wider London skyline

With Knight Frank data showing that supply across the prime central London development market has fallen by 70 per cent over the past decade, this incredible 3,872 square foot four-bedroom apartment, which is complemented by a further 1,118 square feet of private terraced space, offers an exciting opportunity to acquire a prime property within The Bryanston development.

According to Knight Frank, new build homes in the capital with blended values above £3,000 per square foot, spanning prices from £1 million to more than £30 million, are in decline, with the number of schemes either consented, under construction or recently completed dramatically declining from 3,350 in 2014 to just 1,114 today. Of those currently underway, only 70 units larger than 200 square metres are complete. Amid this shrinking central London pipeline, a new show apartment at The Bryanston provides a rare and opportune moment to secure a home at the gateway between the prestigious Mayfair and Marylebone neighbourhoods.

Designed by the late and highly acclaimed architect Rafael Viñoly, the striking building sits on the north-eastern edge of Hyde Park. Complete with floor-to-ceiling windows, which frame sweeping panoramic views of the park and the London skyline, as well as offering unbeatable sunset vistas, the turnkey residence offers immediate occupancy with a top-level, deign-led aesthetic.

The newly unveiled apartment, designed by Oliver Burns Studio, joins an exclusive collection of turnkey residences at The Bryanston; a curated selection of bespoke homes by internationally renowned studios appointed by Almacantar, including Studio Morey, David Collins Studio and Albion Nord. Each property is entirely unique and curated to set the stage for a range of sophisticated tastes, lifestyles and needs, from multigenerational family living to professional boltholes.

With a standard of services and features more akin to a top hotel, the building’s amenities, designed by Millier London, offer residents a state-of-the-art gym designed for private training sessions and one-to-one coaching, a 25-metre indoor swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool and spa with private treatment rooms, alongside a private cinema, dedicated children’s playroom and fully equipped business suite. A professional security service is complemented by 24-hour valet parking and dedicated concierge.

Interiors at the show apartment are inspired by the building’s sculptural form and understated materiality – “a perfect balance of architectural integrity, comfort and timeless design,” says the studio. Elevating its ethos of “thoughtful luxury” at all levels, the interior narrative is refined, cohesive, and elegant with a strong emphasis on individuality, craftsmanship and bespoke, considered design.

The apartment’s substantial proportions, malleable layout and extraordinary natural light are balanced by a harmonious interplay of “organic forms and architectural lines”. A palette of natural materials, inspired by the hues and textures of Hyde Park, flows throughout, creating a tranquil, restorative sanctuary. Warm bronze, hand-crafted timber, Calcutta Rose marble, and liquid metal finishes bring “depth, contrast, and softness” to the home and are articulated across a selection of bespoke pieces, including a striking console table and mirror. Overhead, Waterford crystal and natural brass are composed within a statement lighting installation, casting a “tactile luminosity” that gently animates the refined space.

The gorgeous apartment opens into a generous open plan reception space designed for modern living, with clear cut yet naturally fluid zones for entertaining, dining and relaxation. All-encompassing park views form a crucial part of the experience, with bespoke design elements enhancing the surrounding landscape. Above, clusters of hand-blown crystal glass, finished with antique bronze detailing, are suspended as sculptural lighting installations, echoed by complementary wall lights, which appear to float above a central sofa, designed specifically for the space by Oliver Burns Studio. A hanging Cloud Chair completes the arrangement and is positioned to capture the views while ‘flying’ high above the skyline. An Oyster polished walnut coffee table by Louise Liljencrantz grounds the composition, and mimics the silhouette of the Serpentine River.

The all-important dining area is anchored by a bespoke table inspired by the textured bark of the park’s trees, combining a polished marble top with graceful, liquid metal legs. Underfoot, a bespoke hand tufted rug introduces a luxurious layer of tactility, with patterns inspired by the park’s flowing water and winding pathways.

Offering four bedrooms, with the flexibility for the fourth to serve as a home office, the principal suite is centred around a striking floor-to-ceiling four poster bed that creates a sculptural focal point. An elongated headboard extends across the wall and seamlessly encompasses bedside tables within its continuous flowing form.

Kathrin Hersel, executive director at Almacantar, says: “The Bryanston was conceived as an integral part of its landscape, both the cultural fabric of this international city and the natural character of the historic park. This vision is expressed through a thoughtful curation of art and craftsmanship, set within a framework of refined architecture and design inspired by the organic forms of its surroundings. The result is a sense of permanence and timelessness, creating a deeply rooted connection for residents. In a city where homes of this calibre are increasingly rare, The Bryanston stands as a truly unique offering for those seeking the very best of London living.”

Sharon Lillywhite, founder and creative director at Oliver Burns Studio, adds: “One of the apartment’s standout features is, of course, its extraordinary views across the park, complemented by an exceptionally rare expansive roof terrace. The design centres on strengthening this dialogue between inside and out, drawing a direct connection to one of London’s most iconic green spaces, Hyde Park. We wanted to translate the calm that the park evokes into the home itself, creating a restorative sanctuary with wraparound comfort that nurtures wellbeing. It is a place where, the moment the door closes behind you, you can exhale, unwind and retreat from the pace of the city.”
