HOUSE IN KENSINGTON

This recently-completed project involved the renovation and restoration of a 5-storey Grade Two listed townhouse in Edwardes Square, Kensington.

The house had been 'chopped and changed' many times over the years, notably during a disastrous 1960's 'makeover',

The project involved the reintroduction of a Georgian domestic scale and detailing throughout, whilst incorporating the benefits of modern technology.
Project Year: 2021
Project Cost: More than £2,000,000
Others who worked on this project: Patterned Design

HOUSE IN KENSINGTON
We were recently commissioned to put-together a concept design for the renovation and remodelling of a Grade Two listed Georgian townhouse with extensive Edwardian additions.
HOUSE IN KENSINGTON
One will now enter the house via the original rear reception room which will be used, on occasion, as a formal dining room.
HOUSE IN KENSINGTON
The rather ponderous Edwardian staircase will be replaced with a more elegant version with tapered treads and a lightweight balustrade, quite typical of the Georgian period.
HOUSE IN KENSINGTON
The kitchen is located at the rear of the house, within the Edwardian addition. Since the current space is slightly too narrow, a side extension with a 'lean-to' glazed roof has been proposed.

This view of the kitchen, looking towards the front of the house, shows the enlarged opening to the stair hall on the left. This incorporates a Crittall screen and doors, matching the windows opposite.

The second floor will be devoted to the Master Suite. The Georgian proportions will recreated, and the bedroom located at the front.

We also propose to recreate the proportions of the original second floor rear room. This will house a generous Master Bathroom.

Here is another view of the Master Bathroom, showing a freestanding bath beneath a sash window and next to the exposed fireplace. Wc and shower cubicles are located behind Crittall-style glazed doors within the original arched recess.

The elegant new staircase culminates in an open and airy top landing with a large, square top lantern.

This view from inside the study shows the two sets of sliding doors, the airy top landing, and the balcony beyond.

A third floor level was added atop the rear, Edwardian addition in the late '60's.

Planning-permitting, it would be wonderful to create a roof terrace with panoramic views of central London on top of the Edwardian addition.
