Palace Gate is a spacious ground floor flat in South Kensington that was originally converted in the 1980s when kitchens were isolated rooms, tucked away from living spaces. Repositioned into the underutilised living room, the welcoming kitchen area now features space saving, built in leather dining seating in a previously underused corner of the room. The result is now a practical and attractive focal point. The former kitchen is now a multi-use space opening into the entrance hall that can be closed off with full height sliding doors.
