This majestic mansion block in one of the most prime locations in London was in dire need of architectural renovation not only to bring a contemporary feel to it but to simplify it’s plan internal organization and turn it into a 121 m2 modern London home.

Careful propping and steel beam insertion allowed three feet thick walls to be removed increasing the net usable space by 2.3 square meters.

​

Dodgy 120 year old mouldings and skirting were stripped out and replaced with new precise profiles that matched the old. Restoring the original feel and ambience of its original time.

​

The dine-in kitchen has been designed as a contemporary extension of the living room; appliances are out of View. But elsewhere in the living room and bedrooms, Victorian atmosphere  was to be preserved.
