Mews Residence, Marylebone

The third in a series mews developments undertaken by the practice in recent years, this family home stands amongst dense residential buildings in a busy part of Marylebone.  As with the previous mews houses, Thornton Place typified the problems of single aspect houses; little or no light to the rear of the dwelling.

Furthermore this building suffered from disparate, out-moded spatial integration; the front door entered onto the main reception room and the kitchen was two floors above this reception space.

Building on the experiences of the success of Leinster Mews, Bayswater, CWA have transformed the mews, conveying an unruffled atmosphere with a pale colour palette, based on accents and ambiences created by polished plaster and limestone, accentuated graphically by long horizontal roof lights and precisely detailed staircases.

This helped showcase the client’s collection of art and artefacts creating a 5 bedroom home with a basement, gym and spa.
