I n the heart of stratford village, Kensington, lies a
chartered firm of architects with over 30 years’ experience.
edward Hill Partnership was founded by edward Hill in
1977, the solo enterprise sprouting from his humble home
studio. The practise has since grown by concentrating on
its core business of architecture while developing long-
term relationships with clients and fellow professionals—
structural engineers, interior designers, landscape
architects, lighting designers, quantity surveyors, and
many others. The practise greatly values the strength
of these relationships and sees them as essential to the
accomplishment of an architectural vision. The meticulous,
award-winning results speak for themselves.
A close-knit team of talented designers and technicians
are all imbued with an attitude of service excellence. The
firm’s aim is to design good-looking, practical, and user-
led buildings, providing solutions for an exacting clientele.
specialising in diverse projects including private residential,
housing, commercial, educational, and leisure, edward Hill
Partnership is a sought-after studio. its grand single-family
house refurbishments are seen throughout Kensington,
Chelsea, belgravia, and Knightsbridge. With a penchant for
historic restoration, many listed houses are featured within
the firm’s portfolio, showing a sensitive eye and innate feel
for sympathetic alteration and improvement.

“When refurbishing a listed building, good design largely equates to the elegant integration of 21st-century technology into an 18th- or 19th-century shell.” Christopher Mitchell
Previous PAges LeFT: our double-height underground wine cellar was a total
remodel. We met many challenges in designing the large volume beneath a
five-storey house to maximise square footage and create a dramatic space. We
successfully fused contemporary styling within a traditional structure: a glass
entry landing and high-tech stainless steel and glass staircase contrast with the
original brick walls, oak wine racks, and natural weathered stone flooring.

Previous PAges rigHT: We gutted the ground floor vintage apartment in Mayfair
to provide superb quality accommodation and to house a collection of oriental
sculpture. A series of small rooms was opened up into a lateral space, which is
a rarity in London. We integrated the central air conditioning system with input
grilles placed at low levels. Fabric-stretched walls and wood louvres create a
light ambience. Wide linear cornices and skirtings, dark-painted moulded
architraves, and light hardwood flush doors with dark inlaid detailing unify
the look.

Above: We refurbished a lovely historic victorian house in Kensington to the
highest standard. Working remotely with a New York interior designer, we
jointly achieved the homeowners’ dreams. our total renovation integrated 21st-
century services into the 1840s-era building through a melding of state-of-the-
art technology and impressive architectural elements such as plaster cornices
and new door surrounds.

FACiNg PAge: The kitchen-multipurpose room looks out onto a large landscaped
garden. We overcame the floor-to-ceiling height constraint by use of cornice
details and discreet uplighting combined with a highly reflective ceiling plaster
finish. Travertine and wood flooring streamline the mid-19th century interior
into a clean, contemporary family place.

FACiNg PAge: The historic listed house was originally designed
in the 1840s by acclaimed architect Thomas Allom. We added
another floor and refurbished the existing four-storey interior space
by removing a lift and knocking out walls to create a magnificent
master bedroom, and freshened the exterior façade with extensive
replastering and repair work, including removal of a rough uneven
finish which had been applied in the past.

Above: integrating incompatible golf and cinema systems is a masterful feat,
yet all the more challenging when the underground room must also maintain
green space above to comply with city planning regulations. The three-year
project required a high-tech home theatre system and advanced sensor-
driven golf simulator system, seamlessly operable at the touch of a button.
We blended automated curtain and projection screens and various audiovisual
elements to create an interactive space for playing golf and watching full-screen
movies. suede upholstered walls provide good acoustics, broken up by narrow
horizontal leather strips.

FACiNg PAge: We completely remodelled and fitted out a late victorian-
edwardian building in north London, resulting in an uncompromisingly
contemporary space. While the attractive historic shell is retained, all that
is within is altered. The new mezzanine balcony includes a toughened glass
balustrade and staircase with stainless steel railings. A gourmet kitchen is
accessed through a full-height sliding glass screen adjacent to the dining area.

L iving and working in spitalfields—a neighbourhood
with possibly the most powerful sense of place in
London—Chris Dyson is in a good position to skilfully draw
out the innate character of the capital’s buildings. best
known for his work in the east end, where his own home
and studio are a triumph of sensitive restoration and bold
modernisation, it is not the complete picture, however.
residential projects in London usually involve the
restoration and refurbishment of historic buildings, and
in their work Chris and his team offer an aesthetic that is
simple and classical but does not sacrifice the soul of
the place. The practise is extremely skilled at balancing
old and new by enhancing existing features, employing
specialised craftsmen, and deciding when to add sleekly
contemporary new elements such as modern kitchens and
bathrooms or glass walls.
The studio controls the design process from concept to
construction, keeping a tight rein on all phases and doing
all the detailing in-house, making for a swift and efficient
build process. speed is nothing without a good finished
result, however, and in the end it is a passion for preserving
the spirit of place that sets Chris Dyson Architects apart.

“I see buildings as children, pets, or friends—once they are formed they begin to create their own personalities. I think this is an important sensitivity to realise.” Chris Dyson
Above: The project introduced us to the pleasures and joys of working with
Feng shui, which in practise meant the inclusion of some very practical,
thoughtful design elements. Leading off this conservatory dining area is an
oriental courtyard garden that provides the focus for all the ground-floor
rooms, its Zen-like qualities providing a calm and peaceful backdrop against the
urban environment.
FACiNg PAge ToP: The house as it was originally planned didn’t feel like it had
a heart, so a new hallway placed at the epicentre of the square plan, with the
reception rooms effortlessly winding around it, creates that. it has a compass
design and domed roof inspired by the work of sir John soane, reflecting the
homeowners’ love of travel and enthusiasm for decorative detail.
FACiNg PAge boTToM: by digging into the basement and raising the roof, the
interior space could be increased from 450 to 600 square metres. A spectacular
cantilevered oak staircase with bespoke cast-iron balustrades unites the new
top floor and basement with the three pre-existing floors. our aim when
remodelling any home is to rationalise space, making it clean-lined and easy
to navigate; we like to contrast well-detailed, modern elements with a simpler
form of construction. Walking that tightrope of old and new is what makes
us different.
Previous PAges: The homeowners’ brief to remodel their edwardian home in
Chelsea demanded a lot in terms of time and scale. Although the house remains
apparently unaltered in its outward appearance, it has in fact been substantially
extended and renovated.

C reating harmony between indoors and outdoors is a
large part of Knox bhavan’s work, perfectly illustrated
by its London offices: visitors step over a koi pond to reach
the front door and it’s clear that natural surroundings are
a vital design ingredient. When simon describes the living
space that clients often request—an informal kitchen, living
room, and dining room in one—he affirms that the rooms
should be an extension of the garden.
it is this sensitivity to the environment and interpretive
ability that co-principals sasha bhavan and simon Knox
possess. simon founded the firm in 1992 with sasha
joining four years later. They approach each project as a
team, running jobs from start to finish, often employing
craftsmen and specialists directly. An in-depth knowledge
of construction helps with understanding the possibilities
and limitations of a concept. Passion is evident in the final
product—houses that are a daily pleasure to live in, full of
carefully thought-out detail. sasha says that the practise’s
aim is to create homes that are more enlightening than
mere accommodation. Creating award-winning projects
from new private residences to refurbishments throughout
urban London and its environs, Knox bhavan designs
beautiful dwellings with a decidedly modern aesthetic.

Above: We designed a deep roof canopy to protect the room from inclement
weather. on a summer’s day, sliding glass doors allow for fresh air while
circular windows in the outdoor floor bring light into the basement. Curved
european oak bay window seats extend from each child’s bedroom for lazing
and reading.
FACiNg PAge ToP: The front gable features a large hall window with horizontal
mullions and transoms. Panes are closer together toward the ground, lending
privacy yet providing natural light. our castle-inspired circular staircase has a
central steel post with solid european oak treads fixed to an aluminium "tuning
fork" chassis, all leading up to the skylight.
FACiNg PAge boTToM: The first floor rooms are quite lofty. supporting walls
never touch the ceiling, as glass panels extend to fill the gap. brightly coloured
wardrobes identify different bedrooms down the hallway. our transparent
plan with mirrored sliding doors reveals the formal stairway and horizontal
timber window that provides needed privacy. bespoke joinery defines the
home throughout.
Previous PAges: The L-shaped, three-storey Dulwich village house is sited on
lovely property with a natural pond. Above the entry hallway, our mirrored glass
canopy gives protection from the elements while creating dappled light effects.
it’s hard to tell if you’re inside or out in the draft lobby—as one wall is stone and
the other is brick. We designed the timber entry door with clear and coloured
glass for an immediate view to the landscape beyond.

S implification. This is the core design philosophy of
Alex Michaelis and Tim boyd, principals of Michaelis
boyd Associates. The architect colleagues founded
their namesake firm in 1985 after years of practising with
renowned groups in London, specializing in commercial
and residential work alike. Today the MbA team of
architects is respected for their residential refurbishments
and new builds as well as acclaimed public spaces and
special projects.
When developing a design scheme, the studio emphasises
space, flow, and layout, creating urban habitats from
traditional to minimalist that aptly suit today’s lifestyles.
integrated into city sites with green roof spaces and
gardens extending from each house, Alex and Tim’s
dwellings take their cue from the lay of the land. They
permit sunshine to penetrate the dark nooks of a
typical city structure, so natural light plays a big role
in their designs, with myriad glass walls and skylights
allowing dreary days to be a thing of the past. Decidedly
contemporary, their spaces often have a gallery-like
quality, awaiting original artwork, furnishings, and colourful
personalities to inhabit them. Clean lines and purist forms
emerge within their refurbished historic flats in signature
MbA style and ready for real living.

Above & LeFT: The historic victorian townhouse in Arundel gardens inspired
a fresh take on tradition. We used innovative LeD and concealed lighting to
enhance the feeling of space, and many traditional details and natural materials
were incorporated to reflect the character of the original building.
FACiNg PAge: To successfully open up the space, we designed a large sliding
rooflight on the top floor that sends natural light all the way to the basement.
The children’s quarters feature a dividing wall with a clever reading nook as well
as built-in bookcases and bunks for an uncluttered effect.
Previous PAges: Aside from the existing front façade and side party walls, we
demolished the four-storey structure to create a decidedly modern single-
family home. The scheme included an open plan, lowered basement level, an
excavated area to house utilities, and enlarged three-storey side extension, with
a new mansard roof and small terrace to the rear. our interior design maximises
natural light with full-height sliding glass doors and screens.

into the ceiling detail, glass floor at the rear of the room, and bookshelves.

the design directive of the ultra-modern and highly polished scheme. Discreet backlighting
behind floating ceilings and artworks using rgb LeDs allows for a vast diversity in scene setting,

Above: A sense of depth to the table top was achieved with an additional
sheet of etched and gilded glass laid on top. The background gilding has been
distressed, creating a look of decay and antiquity.
FACiNg PAge ToP: A variety of effects can be achieved using traditional
glasswork techniques. individual beveled glass diamond shapes are gilded with
aluminium leaf or reverse-painted black to give a harlequin effect. To achieve a
gilded glass ceiling above a private pool in Mayfair, square panels of glass were
kiln formed on a softly undulating plaster bed, water gilded with gold leaf, and
set within gold-plated frames.
FACiNg PAge boTToM: For a dressing room screen we created large medallions
influenced by the work of Art Deco metalworker edgar brandt. Deep carved
glass was gilded with gold and white gold leaf against a ground of frosted
deep-etched scrollwork. subtle butterflies and foliage appear through refined
sandblasting techniques and softly distressed silver leaf.

Above & FACiNg PAge: The main salon includes the living room and formal
dining room replete with a tiered Murano crystal chandelier. Asked to
convey the look of a Hamptons retreat, we kept true to the beach house
feel but infused the scheme with elements of luxury appropriate for a
megayacht. We specified textures of linen, silk, leather, and silk velvet
along with special finishes such as verre églomisé, a technique of gilding,
etching, and painting backs of mirrors dating from the 18th century. We
designed verre églomisé panels, inset into cabinets, adapting a design
from antique wallpaper. The colour palette of soft blues, aquas, and ivories
creates an environment that evokes tranquility.

rigHT: boats are about indoor-outdoor living and the relationship between the
two spaces should be seamless, yet each must have identity. We designed the
outdoor spaces with the fresh palette of soft white, infusing each deck with
a punch of colour for fun and interest. Furniture was specified in high gloss
white and seat cushions are off-white with contrasting leather piping; scatter
cushions feature an array of printed fabrics and hand-carved leather details. For
the sun deck we used tones of soft yellow and ivories to create a sophisticated
backdrop for entertaining, complementing an impressive backlit onyx bar. The
mood is one of understated elegance.

“Interior design is all about the details, the overall result being unique to each person. The context and intention arises from the client, so there is a common thread from their homes on land to their yacht at sea.” Kamini Ezralow
Above: The bespoke headboard and bedside cabinets in the master cabin have
a nickel and mother of pearl inlay detail echoed in the sea fastening cabinetry

materials such as dark walnut timbers, and contemporary fabrics. on the sofa,
a cashmere-lined silk throw is personalised with embroidery. The undulating,
carved wave pattern rug lends to the room’s glamorous ambience.
FACiNg PAge: For the wheelhouse deck cushions, we used red leather piping
on ivory fabric, along with a geometric pattern in a rich red tone. The tonal
harmony relates to the colour of the hull, which is a deep burgundy. We added
interesting layers by blending laser-cut leather cushions inspired by marine
designs with more neutral-toned but textured fabrics. While the interior is very
much about the flow of space, layering of textures, and a fresh palette, the
exterior is just as elegant but with a punch of colour.

Above: The viP stateroom is decidedly female, with colours of lavender and
purple on a background in shades of grey. The owners’ daughter studied
gemology, so we commissioned cushions with genuine amethyst crystals
embroidered on purple satin to adorn the bed.
LeFT: The viP ensuite bathroom features silver vein travertine slabs laid in a
vertical orientation. The bespoke Murano mirror frame is etched with a delicate
floral pattern, and together with crystal faucet handles and mother of pearl

FACiNg PAge: The unique finish applied on the atrium walls and flooring was
the first of its kind on a yacht. We collaborated with a local company to create
the 'skin' for the staircase atrium by coating the surfaces in a platinum metal
finish with impressions of leaves; it starts as a canopy on the deck flowing down
the atrium stairway. The finish was applied on the moor oak treads to reveal
platinum highlights in the grain. our recessed handrail repeats the platinum
finish but with a concealed light for an effect that is truly unexpected, ultra
tactile, and completely unique.

often design to achieve multiple functions; in yacht design it is no different.
because space is limited, we must make the most of the room, all the while
respecting its different functions.
