Cromwell Road, Kensington

A statement supported the planning application submitted to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to remodel the space of the basement floor of the flat. Proposals to amalgamate two flats at the front and rear to one self-contained flat were guided to respect the character of the basement and the buildings hierarchy whilst restoring the space to one dwelling as it was historically. Our research on the phased development of the internal spaces informed the design of the proposed and facilitated the conversion back into one dwelling that would reflect the layout of the 1920’s. The schemes success was measured on the principle of restoring the walls and spaces to as close to the original as possible.
