‘The Bayou’ Showhome is a spacious one-bedroom residence at Bower House, the first collection of homes at Silkstream, an eco-conscious parkland neighbourhood in Hendon, North West London.
Curated by local design studio Thirteen ID the apartment’s interior embraces the surrounding local environment and scenery.
Welcoming first residents later this year, Silkstream’s new Showhome is a first chance to experience the new homes at Bower House and Lindley House, which are available to purchase off-plan. The 11-storey Bower House offers 76 one and two-bedroom homes with private balconies or terraces.
A commitment to ethical living | The Bayou Showhome embraces biophilic design, bringing nature indoors with lush greenery, organic elements, and sustainably sourced materials.
The interiors feature FSC certified timber joinery, preserved florals and greenery, and furniture crafted by local craftspeople and London-based artists to ensure furniture pieces are timeless and built to endure.
These eco-friendly homes are designed for energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions and fuel bills, a testament to the growing importance of sustainability in modern design. Residents also have access to a rooftop terrace with views of Wembley Stadium and the new Mosaic Garden, one of the three individual and unique podium gardens available to residents.
Marcus Blake, Managing Director at St George, said: “Today’s buyers prioritise sustainability, and Silkstream is ideally positioned to respond to this shift in priorities. Silkstream meets this demand with low-carbon homes surrounded by green spaces and excellent transport links. Buyers can be taken from wildflower gardens to Central London in under 20-minutes. Bower House is the first chapter of this parkland neighbourhood and welcoming residents this autumn is an exciting step for this eco-conscious community.”
Lois Street, Creative Director at Thirteen ID, said: “Natural tones and textures at the core of our design to The Bayou's, with marble, oak, linen, and velvet creating a timeless, intimate feel. Original artwork by Jessica Rose Bird adds a unique layer of storytelling, weaving together the various elements to create a cohesive and tranquil environment. All furnishings have been ethically and sustainably sourced, wherever possible from the UK. We see this as part of a larger dedication to improving the industry and protecting the environment.”
