CS Design Studio has unveiled the Belvedere Suite at 60 Curzon, a sophisticated Mayfair residence that redefines contemporary classic living through a carefully curated blend of texture, craftsmanship and refined artistry. Designed as a welcoming sanctuary within one of London’s most prestigious addresses, the project transforms a luxury apartment into a home rich in character, warmth and individuality.

Drawing inspiration from the building’s striking internal courtyard by the late Thierry Despont, CS Design Studio sought to translate the courtyard’s sense of quiet luxury into the private interiors. Rich textures and layered finishes became central to the design narrative, creating spaces that feel deeply personal rather than conventionally styled. The studio introduced Paint & Paper Library’s deep Spruce finish to the kitchen cabinetry, establishing an elegant focal point that anchors the open plan living areas while adding warmth and sophistication.

A major achievement of the project was the transformation of what had previously been a stark and dated interior. Heavy black kitchen units, skirtings and cornicing were replaced with a fresher palette that immediately softened the apartment’s architectural envelope. CS Design Studio further enhanced the sense of refinement through contemporary three stepped applied mouldings, bringing rhythm, depth and classical character to the reception, dining and kitchen spaces.

Bespoke craftsmanship is evident throughout the residence. Hand applied metallic leafing enriches the powder room, while textured wallcoverings and curated furnishings create layers of visual interest. In the bedroom corridor, CS Design Studio converted a simple cupboard into an illuminated arched niche displaying a hand cast bronze sculpture inspired by classical Greek antiquity. Combined with basket weave wallpaper and a bespoke rug, the intervention transforms a transitional area into a memorable architectural feature.

Original artworks, carefully reframed to complement the interiors, and a baby grand piano positioned within the reception bay window complete the scheme. According to CS Design Studio, the project succeeds by creating a home with genuine soul, balancing luxury with comfort and delivering an atmosphere that feels both timeless and distinctly Mayfair.
