OLIVER BURNS<br />

WALPOLE MAYFAIR<br />

~ Traditional grandeur and timeless opulence ~<br />

In the heart of one of the world’s most desirable cities, situated opposite the Ritz London, lies an<br />

illustrious building, once home to Britain’s first and longest serving prime minister, Sir Robert Walpole.<br />

Out of this Georgian home, we have carved five extraordinary state apartments, each of them unique in<br />

personality, but in its own way a living testament to the prevailing elegance and beauty of the building.<br />

All five apartments have been designed to flow seamlessly from room to room, each thoughtfully<br />

considered to ensure the first impression is unforgettable. A particularly spectacular entrance hall<br />

awaits at Number Three where two handcrafted Terzani chandeliers comprised of cascading lengths of<br />

silver chain set the tone. Continuing into the reception room, champagne draperies and wallpaper with<br />

metallic details extend the sense of opulence that is woven throughout the entirety of this glamorous<br />

apartment.<br />

The grand height of Number Four offered an inspiring canvas to work with. By uncovering the ceiling,<br />

we were able to create a striking architectural loft-style feature. This enhanced the feeling of space,<br />

whilst showcasing the living room chandeliers to dramatic effect, bringing a flourish of Manhattan<br />

style to the heart of London.<br />

The crowning glory of this exquisite collection of apartments is undoubtedly the magnificent duplex<br />

penthouse. Representing the very best in open-plan living, the penthouse has been expertly designed<br />

to flow seamlessly from the inside out. This is illustrated to spectacular effect by specially designed<br />

glass doors which fully retract, leading the way to the stunning roof terrace where panoramic views<br />

of London’s skyline await. This is beautifully complemented by a carefully chosen scheme of neutral<br />

colours and reflective finishes to showcase the mesmerising chiaroscuro at play.<br />

In this marriage of period charm with wrap-around comfort, the apartments at Walpole Mayfair<br />

embody the values of Georgian elegance, translated to the vernacular of our own times and to the<br />

exacting requirements of the 21st century living.<br />

ENTRANCE HALL<br />

With hundreds of lengths of draped chain, two handcrafted Terzani Atlantis<br />

chandeliers create a stunning illumination in the entrance of this apartment.<br />
