Queen’s Gate Apartment

           Location: South Kensington, London

Queen’s Gate Apartment is a full renovation of this Grade II-listed two-bedroom apartment, featuring one ensuite, in Queens Gate Gardens, South Kensington, London, reflects a meticulous balance between heritage conservation and modern construction techniques. Situated within a terrace of Victorian neo-classical Italianate townhouses, this project required a highly sensitive approach due to its listed status and location within the Queens Gate Conservation Area. The works involved restoring original features such as intricate plaster ceiling mouldings while integrating contemporary elements like bespoke marble finishes, a custom-designed modern kitchen, and a luxurious fashion wardrobe. High-quality materials, including sustainably sourced timber, precision-cut marble, and hand-crafted metalwork, were used throughout to maintain the historical integrity of the property. The construction process also encompassed structural enhancements to support the terrace, with careful attention to detail in areas such as the ensuite bathroom and integrated lighting systems.

Queens Gate Gardens is a square bordered by mid-19th-century Victorian neo-classical Italianate terraces, located in the esteemed South Kensington area. As part of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the conservation requirements for this Grade II-listed building were stringent, ensuring every aspect of the renovation adhered to its historical significance. The location itself, steeped in history, is characterized by grand architecture and close proximity to Kensington’s green spaces. Historically, this area became a retreat for London’s elite, with prominent figures such as King William III choosing Kensington for its clean air and tranquil surroundings. The listed status of the property dictated that all works, from structural reinforcements to interior finishes, adhered to approved methods, showcasing the intersection of historical preservation and modern construction standards.
