Portland Place, London W1

Part of the Harley Street Conservation Area, the layout of this elegant Georgian townhouse had remained largely untouched since it was rebuilt in the 1920s. We transformed the interior shell to accommodate modern living spaces, updating original features and reintroducing traditional elements to blend with cutting edge design.

The existing Jacobean-style panelling in the dining room was preserved, providing a striking backdrop for entertaining whilst maintaining a sense of intimacy.

Reflective surfaces, mirrored screens and enlarged doorways instill a flow of light and space throughout.

Technology and services are concealed within Georgian-inspired mouldings, cornices and panelling throughout.

A custom designed fireplace in the Reception sets the tone by marrying traditional mouldings with contemporary design.

Original stone staircase sweeps from the entrance, enhanced by full height doors.

Bathrooms in the master suite incorporate custom-made pieces with traditional fittings.

The centrally placed four poster bed occupies prime space and position in the house.

Tailor-made bookshelves conceal services and form part of bedroom study.

The kitchen elevation blends in with Georgian architecture and detailing.

The bespoke period-inspired kitchen forms the centre of interactive family life, with the option to extend into the flexible living areas.

The atmospheric bathroom used traditional designed fitting in contemporary style.
