Project Overview
Refined living on one of Belgravia’s quietest streets
Kinnerton Street has the feel of a village within the city: cobbled, low-rise, and tucked behind the grander terraces of Wilton Crescent and Belgrave Square. The brief was to bring this apartment up to a standard that matched its address.
Greville House is a well-maintained mansion block on the south side of Kinnerton Street, with a secure communal entrance, porter service, and a character that sits somewhere between mews intimacy and Belgravia grandeur. Flat 7 had not been updated for over a decade and needed a complete interior overhaul.
The design centred on a restrained material palette: engineered walnut flooring, warm plaster tones, natural stone surfaces, and brushed nickel hardware. The kitchen was replaced with a handleless design in soft taupe, with a Silestone worktop and fully integrated appliances. The bathroom was rebuilt with large-format porcelain, a freestanding bath, and thermostatic shower controls.
Full-height walnut wardrobes were designed for the bedroom, with integrated drawers, hanging space, and a mirrored dressing panel. The hallway received a new console niche, coat storage, and a pendant light that sets the tone from the moment the front door opens.

Outcome
The details that mattered most on site
Head lease restrictions
The freeholder imposed strict working hours and material delivery windows, requiring careful logistics planning throughout the programme.
Compact layout efficiency
Every design decision had to maximise storage and visual space without making the apartment feel cluttered or over-fitted.
Material lead times
Walnut veneer panels and bespoke joinery required a 6-week lead time, so procurement was overlapped with strip-out to keep the programme on track.
A quietly luxurious home
The finished apartment is warm, calm, and proportioned — a proper Belgravia home that feels much larger and more refined than its footprint suggests.
