Holland Park II

Holland Park, London Private Client 525 m² | 5670 ft² 2016

Partial refurbishment of Grade II listed townhouse including extension of basement to provide guest accommodation, a cinema and utility/plant rooms.

This classical house originally suffered from a severe lack of utility and guest spaces although a basement had been added some years previously under the front of the property.

The client brief was to improve the kitchen and ground floor entertainment rooms, as well as to redesign the first floor to provide two living rooms linked with a library and bar.

The planning permission was significantly complicated by the building’s listed status, but it was (successfully) argued that the new basement could be considered to be an extension of the previous scheme. The ability to locate most of the new space under the rear garden allowed full use to be made of the property footprint, and the resulting accommodation provided a large (naturally lit) guest suite, a cinema, plant and utility rooms, and a guest suite/office.

Working with interior designers James Plumb, a uniquely textured and sculptural aesthetic was developed, with bespoke elements introduced into the major rooms including a unique stone parquet hallway that blended into the wooden parquet of the kitchen; a specially woven stair carpet; a brass, felt and timber lectern including a concealed sink in the library bar; and a bespoke wine store formed from burnished metal and concrete that acted as a backdrop for a sculpture specially commissioned for the space.
