Summary of Project:
Extensive internal refurbishment of
a 3½ storey home within the Hyde Park Conservation Area. Work
was carried out whilst the surrounding apartments were fully occupied.
The scheme provided our client with 5 bedrooms, all with en-suite
bathrooms, and separate staff accommodation.
One
of the most memorable and delightful parts of this scheme was
the discovery of an original ceiling complete with exquisite cornice
and ceiling rose above a false ceiling. Replacement mouldings
were made to replicate areas lost or damaged and the whole room
renovated with an elevated reading area accessed via a spiral
staircase

ceiling, cornice and rose refurbished.
Inappropriate additions to the building were removed, including
a small lift, to allow the dwelling to be brought back to it's
original splendour, whilst discreetly modernising the facilities
through-out.
An
in-house audio entertainment system provides radio and CD's to
be heard in any combination of rooms via remote control
Location:
Mayfair Conservation Area, Park Lane,
London.
