Townhouse, Holland Park

London W11

The extensive refurbishment of an elegant Holland Park townhouse — a basement excavation, lowered lower-ground floor, and new extensions at ground and roof level to unlock the full potential of the house.

Project Details

Extensive refurbishment of this elegant house in Holland Park. The scope included lowering the lower-ground floor to improve the ceiling height, excavating a basement to create a self-contained apartment for the client's grown-up children, and new extensions at ground and roof level to maximise the potential of the property.

We worked closely with the interior designers Carden Cunietti and the client to create a beautiful, stylish family home.
