Generational upgrade of a pair of Grade II Listed Mayfair townhouses. The project will transform the communal access, services, and energy efficiency of the apartment block and reinstate the interior and exterior building fabric to a finish of the highest architectural quality.
Context
The project consists of two grand, Grade II listed townhouses which were knocked through in the mid 1930s and turned into flats. The current owner, who is also resident in one of the flats, engaged us to assess the state of the structure, undertake some reconfigurations and massively upgrade the building's energy efficiency: he wanted it to be fit for purpose for the next 100 years.

The challenge
We were challenged to provide a generational upgrade to the building's services and communal spaces, to meet modern standards and expectations, and to provide a better mix of flat sizes and layouts. We had to sensitively work around the substantial internal alterations that had been made down the years, while installing vital equipment such as air-source heat pumps which would help future-proof the building. Our proposal was successful in gaining planning and Listed Building consents.
