There’s minimalism - ie not putting in much furniture - and then there’s minimalism by the legendary architect John Pawson CBE. His minimalism is both primitive and futuristic and a fine example of how effective it can be is in this house he designed for the original owner, American art collector Doris Lockhart Saatchi, Charles Saatchi’s first wife.
An unnamed American buyer has now bought the £6.75 million white stucco three bedroom house in Hay’s Mews, after the deal was fast-tracked in order to avoid the Autumn Budget’s rise in Stamp Duty for overseas buyers. The house was the last sale in Mayfair before the budget.
