Our clients purchased a classic, listed townhouse in an elegant street in Chelsea in order to be able to enjoy all that London has to offer together in their retirement.

Sadly, inappropriate modern, flat-panel joinery and bland finishes installed by previous owners, created a soulless interior.

Our Brief seeks to celebrate the original architecture of the house, bringing out the patina of the past 150 years. Beautifully crafted joinery will sit sympathetically in the space, with modern services discreetly incorporated.

Against this period backdrop, modern artworks and distinctive furniture will make the house feel of its time now.

As Tanya observed on her first visit, “this grand old lady of a house is currently dressed in a sharp shiny Italian suit, when actually a beautiful cashmere sweater and pearls would be far more appropriate.”
