This project involved the refurbishment and reconfiguration of a double fronted, classic Victorian townhouse in Kensington. The Clients brief was to create a light filled, elegant yet functional family home. As keen art collectors they wanted to create a backdrop for their collection which would enhance each piece. We worked closely with Interior Designer Atelier T-Delight to rationalise the plan, maximise the feeling of space and bring more light into the centre of the house. This was achieved by extending to the rear and repositioning the staircase, freeing up the plan on each level.
The Client wished to replace a rather shabby and much altered house in a poor state of repair with a new build house in the Arts and Crafts style. The design was progressed to planning with a full set of working drawings which the Client implemented with their own builders.
This was originally a vacant land site. Jones Lambell gained planning permission to redevelop the site to form a new single family house. There are four storeys above ground level and three storeys beneath the house and rear garden. The new basement includes a swimming pool with rising floor to provide a party room adjacent to the spa, sauna and gym areas.
A large studio apartment in a converted Victorian School required additional sleeping areas. Due to the high ceilings, we were able to create a substantial mezzanine level which provided additional bedrooms and bathrooms with large internal windows looking onto the living areas below.
