Kensington
Offices to Residential Conversion
A former office building thoughtfully transformed into three contemporary two-bedroom apartments, delivering high-quality homes in the heart of Kensington, just moments from Olympia London.
Our client approached us to unlock the potential of an existing commercial office building by converting it into three spacious two-bedroom apartments. The brief was to create bright, contemporary homes that reflected the expectations of the Kensington market whilst maximising the value of the existing building.
01 / THE BRIEF
Converting an existing commercial office into three independent residential dwellings.
Working within the structural constraints of the existing building.
Coordinating complex Building Regulations and fire safety requirements.
Maximising natural daylight and efficient apartment layouts.
Upgrading thermal, acoustic and servicing performance to modern residential standards.
02 / THE CHALLENGE
We developed a comprehensive technical design package that carefully balanced architectural quality with buildability. Working alongside structural engineers, fire consultants and Building Control, we coordinated every aspect of the conversion—from apartment layouts and structural alterations through to fire strategy, acoustic separation and construction detailing.
The design introduced generous open-plan living spaces, large glazed openings and a contemporary material palette, creating three elegant apartments suited to modern city living while ensuring full compliance with current Building Regulations.

04 / THE OUTCOME
The result is a successful transformation of an underutilised office building into three premium two-bedroom apartments that maximise the site's potential while enhancing the surrounding streetscape.
By combining intelligent space planning with rigorous technical coordination, the development delivers contemporary homes that feel bright, spacious and refined, demonstrating how existing commercial buildings can be successfully repurposed for modern residential living.
