British architects and designers SHH took on the new-build Kensington House project with a commission to create a complete interiors scheme for the six storey, 1,114 sq m house.  

The property is comprised of a very generously proportioned reception room, large formal dining room, family room, cinema and pool room, all located on the lower 3 floors.  The entire first floor is occupied by the master suite, with the remaining two floors taken up by 5 further bedrooms and en suite bathrooms.

The client’s brief was simple.  The house had to suit the needs of an international couple with a large family.  As for the look? "Cream, off-white and funky"  was the request.  The new-build house is a contemporary take on a Georgian terrace house, set within a classic Square, combining all the conveniences of modern living with state-of-the-art AV and comfort cooling, without compromising on space and traditional proportions.
