Purcell successfully coordinated 36 party wall awards in a densely residential area. Working in partnership with the Grosvenor Estate, the resulting scheme will deliver a high end residential unit in line with its Belgravia surroundings.

This is a lateral conversion of two Grade II* listed townhouses. Purcell is appointed to return the property to one family-sized dwelling, combining two duplex apartments with a proposed three-storey rear extension and a new basement under the courtyard garden.

Our design rationalises the circulation, focusing attention on the property’s original features and reception rooms. This approach resolves the changes in level across the building and reinstates the traditional hierarchy of the house. This adds commercial value while respecting the building’s historic significance.

  • The scheme to convert the townhouses into one home received planning and listed building consent in June 2010.
  • The voluminous spaces at ground and first floor levels now provide appropriately scaled reception rooms, in keeping with a house of this size and grandeur.
  • The three-storey extension not only creates more floor space, but also enhances the aesthetic of the rear to the Grade II* listed building.
  • A luxurious spa with swimming pool has been created in the new basement.
  • The scheme was completed in early 2016.
