CHELSEA TOWNHOUSE No 1

It was realised from the outset that since the houses on this side of Glebe Place are, at only five metres wide, rather long and narrow, the new staircase should be relocated to the middle, thus allowing for full-width rooms to front and rear. It was also realised that the principal living floors (ground, lower ground and basement) should be opened-up, seamlessly flow-together, properly connect with the rear garden, and enjoy as much daylight and a feeling of space as possible.
