Revamping a 6-storey House in a Conservation area
Knightsbridge, London (2019-22)
Late intervention as Interior Architect / Client’s Agent into a project under construction for an end-of-terrace 6-storey house of 480sqm within a Conservation area.
The property had already obtained Planning Consent to demolish and rebuild as well as a new basement.
The brief was to project manage the project; however reconfiguration of some layouts, substantial redesign and additional elements were required.
Working closely with appointed architect and appointed contractor, my intervention entailed:
Reconfiguration of lower-ground floor of kitchen-dining overlooking the garden.
Redesign of the rear garden with a spiral stair to connect to the upper terrace.
Redesign & specification of the glazed conservatory & terrace layout.
Reconfiguration of top master suite with new access to a roof terrace.
Coordination for a reconfigured electro-mechanical design for entire property.
Reconfiguration & interior architecture of 6 bathrooms, 4 toilets & main kitchen.
Redesign of 2 bars for leisure & entertaining.
Introduction of a new bespoke fireplace and themed lounges.
Selection of new finishes & materials for the entire property.
New Kitchen-Dining layout, to ensure access to redesigned garden and breakfast bar view out. Discreet sliding doors for formal entertaining .
Indoor-outdoor flow — physical and visual — connecting upper ground floor to viewing terrace, to the garden and the dining area below
Inserting a new contemporary gas fireplace in a pseudo-historic ambiance, featuring traditional wood paneling on the entire floor
New master suite reconfiguration to ensure seamless comfort and dual access to the master bathroom
