Designed by renowned architect Sir Raymond McGrath, every room in St. Ann’s Court bends in a circular shape. Stairwells wrap around the curved walls, while the smooth edges of the kitchen countertops echo the circularity of the surrounding architecture. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the central living room and main bedroom gently curve to frame the ever-changing garden, landscaped by Sir Christopher Tunnard, in a picturesque panorama. 

Part of the Grade II-listed Television Centre’s inner circle, this beautifully renovated apartment overlooks a round courtyard encircled by original mid-century mosaic tiling and soaring glazing. Arranged in concentric rings, the apartments orbit T.B. Huxley-Jones’s golden statue of Helios, from which the building takes its name. The bend inside this one-bedroom space, however, is discrete – perfect for those who prefer an understated silhouette. 

Woolland House sits within 17 acres of lush gardens, meadows and lakes. The studio within the grounds, is a particular highlight: formerly the workspace of celebrated sculptor and printmaker Dame Elizabeth Frink, the circular shape is an unexpected modernist treat amidst the classical and late-medieval architecture of its surroundings. Exposed wooden ceiling beams fan outwards from the corner, emphasizing the bold curvature of this double-height space, which has three levels of curved windows and glazing that overlook the expansive rolling gardens. 

Once a gothic church, this remarkable four-bedroom home retains the signature curvatures of ecclesiastical architecture, such as arched doorways and a dramatic vaulted ceiling. The space is entered through a light-filled turret, where a bespoke bronze staircase spirals along the cylindrical drum. The hall is lined with equilateral arches, their soft, pointed frames mirrored in the shape of the windows and doors. Elsewhere, ceiling vaults in the hall evoke a domed apse, referencing the home’s past life. 

Don’t be deceived by the sharp exterior of this live-work space in Notting Hill, west London: a curved focal point takes centre stage inside. Designed by the current owner, architect Miska Miller-Lovegrove, who shares the home with her partner, designer Ross, a spiral staircase connects the two levels of the industrial studio space that lies below the split-level apartment. The organic shape and sculptural design of the twisted staircase is a wonderful testament to the home’s owners and their creative practices.
