Project Overview
Grosvenor Estate standards on Mayfair’s grandest street
Grosvenor Street sits at the centre of the Grosvenor Estate in Mayfair. The freeholder requires all interior works to meet exacting heritage standards, and the client’s expectations exceeded even those requirements.
The apartment occupies the principal floor of a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, with 3.4-metre ceilings, original panelled shutters, and a sequence of interconnecting reception rooms that retain their 18th-century proportions. The previous refurbishment was twenty years old and had introduced finishes that were neither sympathetic to the building nor befitting the address.
The design stripped the interior back to its Georgian bones and rebuilt around them. Panelled joinery was restored and redecorated in heritage colours. The kitchen was designed as a piece of furniture — in-frame cabinetry in hand-sprayed verdigris with honed Nero Marquina marble surfaces, integrated Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and antique brass fittings. Both bathrooms were lined in book-matched Calacatta marble with heated floors and Lefroy Brooks brassware.
Bespoke curtains, hand-finished plasterwork, restored fireplaces, and a museum-grade lighting scheme completed the transformation. The apartment now presents at a level consistent with the finest Mayfair residences, while remaining a genuinely warm and comfortable place to live.

Outcome
The details that mattered most on site
Listed building constraints
Every intervention required listed building consent. Electrical routes, joinery fixings, and even paint colours were subject to conservation officer approval.
Grosvenor Estate standards
The freeholder maintains strict design guidelines for the estate. Our proposals were reviewed by the estate’s own architect before work could begin.
Book-matched marble procurement
Sourcing two slabs with matching veining for the principal bathroom required a visit to the quarry agent in Carrara and a specific block reservation.
A Mayfair residence of distinction
The apartment now presents at the very highest level — a home where the Georgian architecture and contemporary luxury feel entirely natural together.
