Westminster Townhouse

The site consists of three early twentieth-century buildings. It is a small enclave of residential and office use which has an intimate scale and peaceful domestic character, sitting within an iconic location. Despite these buildings being converted to office spaces, residential character still prevails. The project focuses on converting two of the existing office buildings into luxury residences while retaining the four storey townhouse as a sophisticated and efficient office space. A unique opportunity is presented to create a fresh, honest iconic design in its own right that exudes elegance and a sense of presence within London.

The interior layout of the residential building has been rearranged in order to create two 4 bedroom apartments with a total surface of 350/450 sqm respectively, equipped with selected contemporary furniture and top-notch finishes. Arney Fender Katsalidis selected the best attributes of the building’s character and emphasised them within the design. Existing historical details such as moulding, panelling and ironmongery were preserved but also rejuvenated in a fresh contemporary way. All is combined to create a timeless design that is true to the existing building. We capitalised on both the historic location and existing architectural features to create a living experience that reflects a contemporary rejuvenation of traditional design with tailored elegance.
