Red brick listed facade detail on Pont Street — The colour, cut and moulding of the brickwork are a signature of the estate

Lantern rooflight view to roof terrace — A modern extension floats over the relatively modest interior behind this ornate facade, bringing light and air into the deep plan

Concept

Our concept was to create a new focus, a verdant airy garden at the heart of the home, around which all the spaces revolve.

This garden creates an element of surprise on arrival, as well as a two-level entertaining space which celebrates the heritage roofscape and long-distance views over London.
