South Kensington Apartment Renovation: Classic

Project: South Kensington, Albert Court. Completed 2012

Size: 2,300sq ft

Type: Full renovation

Style: Tailored Classic with Bespoke Detailing

Located just steps from the vibrant cultural center of South Kensington, this sophisticated apartment within the historic Albert Court was thoughtfully transformed into an elegant pied-à-terre—an elevated sanctuary marked by calm, structure, and character. The client aimed to strike a harmonious blend of heritage and contemporary living, honoring the building’s storied architectural legacy while customizing the interiors to suit the demands of modern city life with privacy and pace. Subtle detailing guided the entire redesign. Custom joinery was expertly crafted to both ground and soften the environment, while layers of tonal richness emerged through hand-applied textures and carefully planned architectural lighting. Each choice was driven by a commitment to balance, refinement, and flow, creating a residence that is quietly assured, exceptionally comfortable, and enduringly stylish.
