Designer Tom Ford’s Contemporary London Townhouse


by HOOKEDONHOUSES on OCTOBER 20, 2009

tom-ford-photoFashion designer Tom Ford’s sleek and contemporary townhouse in Chelsea, London, is on the market for £8.5 million (which converts to about $13 million U.S. dollars). He once said, “If I lived in a one-room hut, every piece of grass that made the roof would be lined up in the right way.” Seeing this house makes me believe him!

Ford revitalized the Gucci fashion label in the 1990s when no other designer wanted to touch it. In 2004 he left Gucci and YSL to start his own fashion house: Tom Ford.

He’s known for his love of modern architecture and has commissioned houses from the Los Angeles firm of Marmol Radziner, the Spanish architect Alberto Campo Baeza, and the Japanese architect Tadao Ando. (Source.)

In an interview on CNN, Ford said he likes to “kick back mostly in my kitchen or my bedroom.”

The kitchen is sleek and modern and looks sterile enough to perform surgery in, should the need arise. I don’t think crumbs are allowed in here. Ever. So put that bag of chips away.

He also says he likes to work on his laptop in his bedroom, sitting up in bed with his dogs beside him. He’s “insane about having enough lighting,” but I don’t see much evidence of it here:

After so many of you complained that Julianne Moore’s townhouse was “too cold” for you, I can just imagine how you’ll respond to this one {grin}. What I like about it is that it reflects Tom Ford’s style so perfectly (in some rooms, the reflection is literal).

Thanks to Nathan of Laurel Street for telling me about this listing on the Aylesford Internationalwebsite.
