Bishops Avenue

In Progress · The Bishops Avenue, London

A private house on The Bishops Avenue, now at second fix.

Built by Crown Building, with the interiors now at second fix. Warm bronze tones run through the brassware and ironmongery, from the bath filler and shower valves to the staircase balustrade, and a custom mural wraps the upper landing, revealed in full from the second floor. The photographs and film below were taken on site in October 2026.

On site: the parquet, the mural landing and the spiral stair.

01 The Staircase

A spiral in oak and bronze.

A cantilevered spiral rises through the full height of the house, oak treads carried on a curving bronze balustrade from the entrance hall to the roof light.

Up to the light.

From the lower flights the spiral frames an oval roof light, with the mural just visible at the top.
