SOUTH KENSINGTON

As one of the most exciting cities in the world, London attracts people from all over whether to live here full time or only for part of the year. This is exactly what attracted our client who decided it was now time to experience new adventures in her London Pied a Terre. She had a very clear and precise vision having previously renovated various flats and having commissioned a house from a renowned British architect back in her native America.  

She is a client with outstanding taste and a clear vision. It was a joy to work on the architectural design of this project and it was particularly satisfying that the work came to such a successful conclusion when a large portion of it happened during the pandemic, with the client and Valentine working on different continents and with a completely trusting and ultimately hugely rewarding relationship.

The kitchen received a total new facelift, the boiler was relocated to create more storage space and the bathroom was completely overhauled to create a very clean and calming area/space.   All of this was best aimed at maximising a generous but compact space.

The client is an avid art collector and her extensive collection, gathered during her peripatetic working life, is on great display in the sympathetically renovated appartment which has a sense of calm, order and is finished to a very high standard.
