Westminster | Period Apartment: Complete Refurbishment & Restoration

Set within a period mansion block in the heart of Westminster, this 1,200 sq ft apartment has undergone a complete refurbishment and restoration, transforming a characterful but dated property into a thoughtfully resolved home that makes the most of every square foot. Working within the constraints of a period floor plan, the project demonstrates that scale need not limit ambition when the detailing and specification are given equal care throughout.
 

The apartment comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms, arranged alongside a double kitchen diner and a double reception room — a configuration that gives the property a genuine sense of proportion despite its more modest footprint. This generosity of layout was central to the brief, ensuring the apartment could comfortably support both everyday living and more relaxed entertaining without ever feeling compromised by its size.
 

The specification throughout reflects a clear commitment to quality over quantity. A bespoke kitchen has been designed to fit precisely within the double kitchen diner, maximising both storage and workspace without disrupting the flow of the room, while bespoke wardrobes bring the same tailored approach into the bedrooms. Luxury bathrooms complete the wet areas, finished to a standard that matches the ambition of the wider refurbishment despite the apartment's more intimate scale.
 

Comfort has been carefully considered throughout, with underfloor heating and air conditioning installed to ensure the apartment performs well year-round, regardless of the demands placed on a period building not originally designed with modern climate control in mind. A particular highlight of the specification is the bespoke marble fireplace, fitted with a bioethanol burner — a detail that allows the warmth and presence of an open fire without the practical complications of a traditional flue, ideally suited to an apartment of this type.
 

Bespoke wall and floor finishes have been used throughout to add depth and texture to the interior, while careful attention was paid to preserving and restoring the apartment's original period features and detailing. This balance between contemporary specification and period character runs through every decision made on the project, ensuring the apartment feels authentic to its mansion block setting rather than at odds with it.
 

The result is a Westminster apartment that punches well above its footprint — a period property refurbished with genuine care and precision, where every element, from the bespoke fireplace to the tailored joinery, has been considered in proportion to the space available. It stands as a strong example of how thoughtful design can elevate even a more compact period home into something distinctly special.
