Knightsbridge Townhouse

Montpelier Square, London

The extensive refurbishment of a Grade II listed townhouse in the Knightsbridge Conservation Area — a new basement excavated beneath the house, a lowered lower-ground floor and a rear extension to bring in light and space.

Project Details

Extensive refurbishment of a Grade II listed townhouse located within the Knightsbridge Conservation Area.

The scheme involved lowering the lower-ground floor, excavating a new basement beneath the footprint of the house and constructing a rear extension to enhance living spaces and natural light.

The result is a refined contemporary home that complements the historic character of the building.
