DESIGN PROPOSAL A Window of Opportunity
HYDE PARK GATE
SOUTH KENSINGTON
DESIGN PROPOSAL
Overview
This property comprises over 9,000 sq ft (843 sq m) of internal accommodation and benefits from two private street entrances, a passenger lift, eight bedrooms, and eight bathrooms.
Situated in a quiet and prestigious cul-de-sac, the property overlooks tranquil private gardens to the rear from its private terraces. Unusually, it also boasts an indoor swimming pool on the second floor, a double garage, and extensive storage areas, including a large wine cellar.
Our proposal
Landmass was tasked with reimagining the design and layout of the second and third floors, which previously lacked cohesion and presented a confusing flow for prospective buyers. Our approach focused on optimizing spatial circulation and creating a more harmonious layout, ensuring each area seamlessly connects and enhances the overall living experience.
Please note: All Architecture & Interior designs are dependent on Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent. If required, we can submit a pre-planning application upon request.
Third Floor
THIRD FLOOR PROPOSED PLAN
The floor layout has been reconfigured to enhance spatial flow, transforming the swimming pool into a central feature that adds value to the property, rather than appearing randomly placed beside the kitchen.
The design has been elevated to a luxury standard, with well-considered spaces, appropriate proportions, and improved ease of circulation throughout.
