BELGRAVIA APARTMENT EXTENSION
At Ground Floor level, the existing floor space (a labyrinth of small rooms) was divided into three new spaces : Entrance Hall, Reception and Dining Room.
Some of the original ceilings, including plaster cornice and moulding details of the interior remained intact, (hidden above a number of 'dropped-ceilings) but much of it was in a state of decay and beyond repair.
Any decay was removed and the existing damaged mouldings preserved above a suspended ceiling.
A series of three new ceilings were formed (Entrance Hallway, Reception and Dining) by recreating the original moulding design on a new suspended ceiling 'hanging' below the original one, allowing, not only for divisions within the space, but also accommodating a comprehensive lighting system.
A combination of bespoke panelled walls, period style marble fireplaces together with luxurious materials, articulate detailing and bespoke integrated furniture, to unify the entire apartment on both levels.
