Mews House
Chelsea
The clients purchased the property next door to create a more spacious and comfortable house for their growing family. They had a clear idea of transforming the two adjacent side returns into an internal courtyard by adding a single storey rear kitchen extension with a rooftop terrace. A basement was created as a self-contained apartment connected to the house by one of the two retained staircases. A loft conversion provided space for a generous master suite with two walk-in wardrobes, a study and an another terrace.
Linen cupboards and a roof terrace beyond.
Mini library with retractable reading / display shelves concealed heating at the base.
Stairs down to basement laundry room on the left and a secret passage linking the main house with a self contained flat.
Bespoke marble bathroom was made to measure in Italy and installed by the craftsmen.
The doors, ironmongery and many details were designed with the client who’ had a keen interest in history of art and design.
Hand painted wallpaper and concealed heating at the base of cabinetry in one of the walk-in dressing rooms.
Self contained lower ground floor flat reception with concealed kitchen and media wall.
Sliding - folding panel system revealed a functional kitchen in the self contained flat.
The green glass and yellow marble children’s bathroom.
Twentieth century design mirror in the guest cloak room and a pair of Italian wall lights - many antique pieces were sourced for the project.
First floor roof terrace above the rear kitchen extension spanning the width of the double width property. A smaller terrace top right off the second floor study.
The two connected houses created an unusual central keyhole shaped central courtyard.
