Context
We were brought in to reorganise and renovate a series of Regency-style listed buildings in Pimlico, and was shortlisted for a RIBA Retrofit Award. This involved making sense of a rambling series of offices, including the vaults of a former bank.
We reformed the spaces into three self-contained flats intended for families, a typology underserved by the market in that part of London.

Process
The buildings sit on a ‘flatiron’-shaped plot which produces some intricate geometrical problems to solve. Our intention was to make an internal treatment that was contemporary in feel, performed a useful function, yet was fitting for the buildings' Regency styling when viewed from the street.
In plan the scheme has little relationship to that of the original building, but from the street and from inside, the arrangement feels appropriate.
