OLIVER BURNS
WALPOLE MAYFAIR
~ Traditional grandeur and timeless opulence ~
In the heart of one of the world’s most desirable cities, situated opposite the Ritz London, lies an
illustrious building, once home to Britain’s first and longest serving prime minister, Sir Robert Walpole.
Out of this Georgian home, we have carved five extraordinary state apartments, each of them unique in
personality, but in its own way a living testament to the prevailing elegance and beauty of the building.
All five apartments have been designed to flow seamlessly from room to room, each thoughtfully
considered to ensure the first impression is unforgettable. A particularly spectacular entrance hall
awaits at Number Three where two handcrafted Terzani chandeliers comprised of cascading lengths of
silver chain set the tone. Continuing into the reception room, champagne draperies and wallpaper with
metallic details extend the sense of opulence that is woven throughout the entirety of this glamorous
apartment.
The grand height of Number Four offered an inspiring canvas to work with. By uncovering the ceiling,
we were able to create a striking architectural loft-style feature. This enhanced the feeling of space,
whilst showcasing the living room chandeliers to dramatic effect, bringing a flourish of Manhattan
style to the heart of London.
The crowning glory of this exquisite collection of apartments is undoubtedly the magnificent duplex
penthouse. Representing the very best in open-plan living, the penthouse has been expertly designed
to flow seamlessly from the inside out. This is illustrated to spectacular effect by specially designed
glass doors which fully retract, leading the way to the stunning roof terrace where panoramic views
of London’s skyline await. This is beautifully complemented by a carefully chosen scheme of neutral
colours and reflective finishes to showcase the mesmerising chiaroscuro at play.
In this marriage of period charm with wrap-around comfort, the apartments at Walpole Mayfair
embody the values of Georgian elegance, translated to the vernacular of our own times and to the
exacting requirements of the 21st century living.
ENTRANCE HALL
With hundreds of lengths of draped chain, two handcrafted Terzani Atlantis
chandeliers create a stunning illumination in the entrance of this apartment.
