Lion House

This beautifully reimagined Lion House in the prestigious Peterborough Estate, Parsons Green, is a masterful blend of historic charm and contemporary living, designed for a dynamic young family with three children. The renovation focused on seamlessly integrating modern functionality with timeless design, ensuring a home that is both elegant and practical. Preserving the property’s period character, we retained key architectural details while incorporating natural materials such as clay plaster, limewash paint, marble, and polished concrete, lending a Mediterranean-inspired sophistication.

The addition of a striking basement extension enhances the home’s functionality, housing a gym, cinema room, playroom, utility space, and a private guest suite. This new level is seamlessly connected to the main living areas via a bold custom steel staircase.

Internal glazing optimises the flow of natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere while maintaining distinct zones within the home. The ground floor prioritises family-friendly practicality without compromising on design, while the penthouse suite, complete with a west-facing roof terrace, provides a serene retreat. Bespoke joinery throughout integrates cutting-edge amenities, including discreet air conditioning, Lutron lighting, smart home automation, and a state-of-the-art AV system. The result is a sophisticated, highly functional home that harmonises heritage and innovation, offering exceptional spaces for relaxation and entertainment.

This home was designed for a dynamic who were not afraid to be bold, exploring colour, pattern and playful layouts to create something that truly reflected them as a growing family of five.

One of the most enjoyable parts of the process was seeing the children’s wing come to life - a joyful, imaginative space full of energy and character. The collaboration and creativity that defined this project shine through in the end result: a beautifully curated home where every space has been thoughtfully considered and designed for the way this family really lives
