The Cosmic House

Historical Landmark in Holland Park

A Grade I listed postmodernist townhouse in Holland Park, built between 1978 and 1983 by Charles Jencks, Maggie Keswick and Terry Farrell. From the street it looks like any Victorian terrace, but inside is a built manifesto for postmodernism with house-shaped bookcases, a 52-step spiral staircase and a garden jacuzzi with an inverted dome floor. Tickets are released at 12pm on the third Friday of each month for visits the following month, April to December.
