LOWNDES SQUARE

This part of Central London, in agent speak, is Super Prime. So it’s important to get a lot of bang for your buck.

Here we joined 2 flats together, creating various holes in the Victorian party wall. These are of course riddled with chimney flues and so there was quite a lot of forensic work to ensure we weren’t cutting through live chimneys.

The building had its original Butterfly roof, pitching front to back. So, the architects developed a scheme to remove this and replace it with a mansard roof and so provide additional floor space. And so, 2 small flats became a large duplex penthouse apartment.

And all of this in a grade II listed building.
