Open-plan kitchen renovation Chelsea townhouse

Whole-House Renovation in the Chelsea Conservation Area

This 5-storey mid-terrace townhouse, located in the heart of the Chelsea Conservation Area, had experienced fragmented remodelling over the years. The result was a mix of uneven floor levels and compartmentalised spaces that lacked cohesion, flow, and natural light.

The client’s brief focused on rationalising the internal layout by removing disjointed floor level changes and creating better connectivity, head height, and daylight throughout. Our design strategy involved the complete demolition and rebuilding of the rear closet wing—adding an additional storey—and the deepening of the basement to increase usable space. The ground floor layout was also reconfigured and opened up for modern family living.

A new central staircase was installed throughout the house to unify all floors, and the entire property was fully refurbished to a high standard, combining period character with contemporary design.
