St Ann’s Villas are an unusual series of Grade II Listed semi-detached Tudor Gothic Revival style buildings constructed in the mid 19th Century and situated in Holland Park.

We were appointed by the new owners of one of the principal corner houses to sensitively refurbish and extend the property to create their new family home whilst restoring the house to its former glory. This involved linking the basement maisonette with the main house above.

Our ambitious scheme received planning approval and listed building consent at the first application.

The proposal includes demolition of two outbuildings and erection of a modern single storey side and rear extension to the lower ground floor, which has been designed to reveal the original elevations currently hidden by the existing outbuildings which are disconnected from the house. Reinstatement of the staircase to the lower ground floor has allowed the family spaces to be relocated into the modern extension where the kitchen and dining area can be flooded with natural light. It also re-establishes a connection to the garden which was previously lost

The scheme has recently been completed, working in collaboration with Studio Westmaas.
