Cochrane Design London has completed a refined and elegant transformation of a top floor apartment within a listed red brick Victorian block on Pont Street in Knightsbridge. Tasked with creating a serene and contemporary home that respected the building’s historical integrity, Cochrane Design London delivered a project that merges subtle modernity with preserved heritage detail.

Working within the constraints of a heritage listing, the team navigated a complex planning process and a tight nine-month construction timeline. Limited site access and conservation restrictions presented significant challenges, which Cochrane Design London addressed with meticulous project management. The entire site was hermetically sealed, allowing the team to execute the renovation with precision while maintaining compliance.

Interior architecture was thoughtfully reimagined to enhance the natural flow of the apartment, improving both functionality and the sense of space. Core infrastructure was quietly upgraded, including thermal insulation, acoustic treatments, plumbing, and electrical systems, all done discreetly to preserve the apartment’s elegance.

The home was designed to accommodate a family whose two adult children return occasionally. Each bedroom and dressing area was uniquely tailored to reflect individual personalities, yet harmonised with the overarching design aesthetic. A strong emphasis on storage led to the integration of concealed luggage access and seamless dressing zones, supporting the lifestyle of a well-travelled family.

Cochrane Design London also brought a subtle sense of theatre to the interiors, introducing hidden doors, bespoke metalwork, and unexpected design features that add layers of interest and discovery. The result is a tranquil and sophisticated residence that celebrates the charm of its Victorian architecture while offering the quiet luxuries of modern urban living. Through this project, Cochrane Design London has demonstrated how heritage and contemporary design can coexist in perfect balance.
