Grand Private Residence to Dress Shop to Workspace

Once a grand private residence, and later a women’s dress shop and furrier complete with a shop floor and changing rooms, a staff canteen and tailor’s workshops on the upper floors, this elegant neo-Georgian red brick building is now being transformed into a workspace suitable for today’s 21st century occupier.

We are giving this five-storey locally listed building in the heart of the Mayfair Conservation Area a complete refurbishment while retaining and restoring its many historic features including ornate cornicing, fireplaces and staircase railings. New interventions draw inspiration from the building’s original DNA and seek to significantly improve accessibility and the fire safety of the building as a whole.

We have just completed RIBA Stage 3 - Design Development and have now started work on RIBA Stage 4 - Technical Design for this historic building. Above is a visualisation of what the grand first floor will look line when complete. Slim line suspended light fittings will provide suitable illumination for task work while allowing the existing decorative cornices to remain exposed and unhidden by any suspended ceilings. Elegant brass wall lights add a touch of luxury and refinement to the space.
