Belgravia Townhouse, London

Planning and Listed Buildings approval was obtained to rework this handsome 1820s Belgravia townhouse comprising 4,000 sq.ft arranged over six-storeys with a basement. The property has undergone several extensions in recent decades and been subjected to numerous alterations that were poorly executed and unsympathetic to the historic building. The works that we are undertaking will correct many of the previous ungainly alterations, and include a number of sensitive repairs to reinstate the original Georgian character together with a new layout on the lower levels to provides more natural light and a better connection to the newly landscaped garden and terraces. This full refurbishment interweaves traditional features with new elements of high quality contemporary design internally whilst addressing the challenges of creating an elegant, comfortable and contemporary family home from a tall Listed building on a relatively narrow urban plot.

Location: Belgravia, London

Date: 2020-ongoing

Floor Area: 4000 sq ft

The project looks to articulate a clear distinction between the period building and new contemporary insertions. The floor plates of the Georgian house stack one on top of the other, and a modern extension at the rear of the property has been added which integrates the traditional rooms with new bright living spaces that open on to the garden. The contrasting language of these areas, and the transition from one to another, allows for interesting and playful interconnection of spaces.
