London is an ever-evolving city built on layers of history. This house, one of a pair of Grade II Listed properties built around 1830, is in the Conservation Area of Little Venice, a basin developed in the early nineteenth century to connect the Grand Union Canal with Regent’s Canal. The pair form part of a group of grand Italianate villas which line the canal.
As a project of both restoration and modernisation, heritage conditions such as maintaining the special interest of the original building, its garden setting, and the hierarchy of internal spaces are addressed with as much care as creating a home suited to the requirements of contemporary living.
With the serenity that comes naturally from a waterside setting, the interiors of the home consciously harmonise with the surroundings, melding together period details with modern elegance.
