A new residential oasis in London’s famous royal borough

Redefining luxury living: Lancer Square, Kensington W8

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has it all – monuments, museums, royal parks, Victorian and Art Nouveau architecture, fashion, swagger and now Lancer Square. With so much to feed off, we set to work blending a little sartorial style with a dash of bohemian nonconformity and a bounty of new- and old-school craft techniques. The result is a characterful, comfortable and creatively inspired home fit for a King.

Mint Condition

Pale-mint walls provide a light and fresh backdrop for statement pieces, including a handwoven tapestry, a glass chandelier of hand-formed discs, and a glossy table covered in thousands of tiny eggshells. It’s an uplifting space designed to kickstart the day the right way.

Copper showstopper

We clad a large expanse of living room wall in panels of etched, copper-hued wood. The material’s rich, rusty tones and innate tactility make for a warm and impactful design feature. It’s functional, too, as the mounted painting can glide across in both directions to reveal a large TV.

A modern twist

From the surging waves of intensely pigmented blues in Trevor Bell’s modernist masterpiece to the mid-century chandelier of twisted Murano-glass sheets – the dining room celebrates Kensington’s associations with the modern, vintage, bohemian and artistic.

Go retro

The principal bedroom pays homage to the bustling Kensington Market of the 70s with bold repeat patterns and a distinctive palette of orange, avocado and earthy brown. We’ve refined the look with handcrafted bedsides featuring expressive bronze work, cylindrical glass lamps with hand-applied gold flakes, and a full-height upholstered wall with walnut inlay.
