A complete transformation of a Victorian townhouse in one of London's most prestigious neighbourhoods.
This South Kensington property required a sensitive yet ambitious reimagining. The clients - a professional couple with a growing art collection - needed a home that could accommodate formal entertaining while remaining warm and liveable. We reconfigured the spatial layout, opening sight lines between the reception and dining rooms while preserving the building's period character.
The reception room balances contemporary comfort with architectural restraint - bespoke joinery frames the fireplace while integrated shelving provides subtle display space. In the dining room, a neutral palette allows the clients' art collection to take centre stage, with custom cabinetry designed to accommodate both lighting and discreet storage.
Throughout the home, the material palette emphasizes texture and craftsmanship: natural stone, considered metalwork, and handcrafted finishes that add depth without competing for attention. Privately commissioned pieces sit alongside inherited antiques, creating interiors that feel collected and personal.
