Notting Hill is one of the most vibrant residential neighborhoods in London. Ladbroke Square, however, is a quiet square with Georgian-style terraced houses overlooking a large private garden, one of the many communal gardens that dot the English capital.
This house, conservative on the outside, hides behind its entrance a white, diaphanous, elegant, and essential shell that catapults us into a contemporary art museum. Spread over four levels, totaling about 600 square meters, the house belongs to a couple of Italian entrepreneurs who are passionate about art and the excellences of Italy.
Opening the door of the Ladbroke Square house feels like stepping into the installations of American artist James Turrell, who explores the perception of light and space.
