Challenge

This majestic 14,000sq ft mansion is the largest private house on the river between Twickenham and Westminster and is regarded as a building of special architectural and historic interest.

Early Victorian Italianate, it’s designed to original Grade II* listed splendour, with a grand staircase within an imposing stone-flagged entrance hall, a clock tower, fountains and ornate, classical gardens. Restoration and renovation of this spectacular example of heritage architecture would require sensitive listed building interior design skills and meticulous execution.

Floor Plan

Detailed architectural blueprint of a listed building showcasing a complex layout with multiple rooms, furnished areas, and intricate design elements, ideal for restoration planning or historical architecture studies.

Solution

Undertaking listed building refurbishment and listed building interior design required navigating through complicated and restrictive rules for both listed building consent, and architectural and interior design concept.

Our strategic approach and sensitive design ensured that original features were preserved. A new double storey extension allowed us to breathe new life into this Grade II* listed building and enhance its beauty as an impressively luxurious private residence.

Chic and cosy living room interior with plush cream sofas adorned with decorative cushions, elegant furry stools, a sleek black coffee table, a tall floor lamp, sheer curtains allowing natural light, and a modern golden circular rug dividing the room and adding a luxurious touch to the space.
