Wells Coates Apartment, South Kensington

LONDON. W8
2011

MWAI worked closely with the client to sensitively restore a Grade II* Listed Wells Coates Modernist apartment in an apartment building in Kensington, London.

The apartment has been meticulously renovated by MWAI in a minimalistic style sympathetic to the Modernist intentions of the original architect.

The brief called for a pristine, white and elegant look, with flexible living accommodation.
MWAI’s response to the brief ensured a bespoke architectural fit out with purpose built joinery and carefully selected lighting.


“…we decided to use MWAI as I had been impressed by their professionalism and his approach for our project. The services we used were design and full project management. We knew exactly what we wanted, but Matthew, Alessia and Ben contributed a lot in terms of translating our wishes into reality, with a lot of attention to detail.We had an excellent experience working with MWAI - they were knowledgeable, listened to us, understood our needs, and contributed just the right amount to our project without being overwhelming.” - client.
