Cyril Mansion
Private Residence • Battersea Park, London
Completed, 2024
This project took place in one of London’s most quietly coveted addresses: the Mansions Block overlooking the sweeping greenery of Battersea Park. Set moments from the King’s Road, opposite the Thames, and beside the newly revived Battersea Power Station district, the location embodies a rare blend of serenity and vibrant city living. It is a pocket of London that feels both timeless and newly awakened — the perfect setting for an apartment that deserved an equally thoughtful transformation.
The residence, a 98-year-old apartment rich with history, required a complete reimagining. We approached the refurbishment as a full-scale reinvention, reshaping the entire layout to create better flow, clarity, and light. Walls were repositioned, volumes were opened, and spaces were recalibrated to bring a sense of ease and expansiveness that the original plan had never allowed.
Our design direction centred on a soft, natural palette — gentle earthy tones, warm neutrals, and textures that felt calm and understated. The intention was clear: to let the apartment’s most remarkable feature take its rightful place as the focal point — the uninterrupted, cinematic view across Battersea Park’s canopy of green. Every space was composed to frame the landscape beyond the windows, turning the park into a living artwork that shifted with the seasons.
The result was a home that felt both fresh and deeply grounded, honouring the heritage of the building while offering a modern sense of luxury and brightness. Delivered and sold in 2021, the apartment achieved a record price on the street — a testament to the transformation and a project we remain incredibly proud of.
