Grade II Listed Penthouse Apartment
​​
Set within a stunning Grade II listed property in the heart of York, Plaskitt & Plaskitt Interior Designer Rosie brought thoughtful design and timeless elegance to this unique penthouse apartment, which boasts sweeping views of the iconic York Minster.
​
Rosie’s design celebrates and elevates the home’s historical character, while ensuring it remains a comfortable, functional space for modern living. In the guest bedroom, a wall-to-wall bespoke headboard provides flexible configuration options—allowing the room to be effortlessly transformed between twin beds or a zipped king-size, adapting beautifully to the homeowner's needs.
​
The design schemes throughout the apartment are anchored by the homeowner’s impressive collection of artwork. Each element—from the carefully selected soft furnishings and bespoke upholstery pieces, to the elegantly tailored window dressings—was curated to enhance and harmonise with the art, creating a cohesive and expressive interior.
​
A standout feature in the living space is the striking, handcrafted cabinetry, designed in collaboration with the renowned Peter Thompson’s of York. This bespoke piece integrates a window seat, bookcase, and desk area—balancing craftsmanship with practicality, and offering a serene corner from which to enjoy the views across the city.
​
Rosie’s sensitive yet contemporary approach brings a fresh energy to this heritage home, celebrating its character while embracing the lifestyle of its owners.
