A Victorian house that needed general renovation and expansion.
The project included planning, construction and general renovation and, of course, the design and styling of the entire house. The family, numbering 5 people, asked for a bright and modern house that would contain work areas, a utility room and an open space that includes a large kitchen, dining area and family corner.
In a joint decision with the customers, we have preserved some of the original features of the house like the tiles floor in the entrance and the cornice works in the ceiling which preserves the Victorian charm and creates an interesting combination of old and new.
St John's Wood Penthouse
This 220 sqm penthouse on St John’s Wood High Street, set within a Grade I listed building overlooking Regent’s Park, was fully renovated and styled to revitalise its interiors while respecting its historic character.
The design combines boho-chic warmth with modern sophistication through layered textures, natural finishes, and eclectic accents. A new kitchen and four bathrooms were designed and installed, enhancing functionality and flow. The four bedrooms, two of them en-suites, feature custom Italian wardrobes, with two designed as walk-ins.
The original wooden flooring was sanded and repainted in a lighter tone to brighten the interiors and create a more open feel. Installing an air-conditioning system within the constraints of a Grade I listed building presented a significant challenge, as external units were not permitted. This was resolved with a discreet internal system that maintains comfort without compromising the building’s heritage. The result is a light-filled, relaxed, and elegant home that harmonises history with contemporary living, offering refined style and sweeping views across Regent’s Park.
