Property Development in London | Queen Mary's Place

 

The ornate architecture of the stately Roehampton House is being scrupulously preserved and refined to provide a spectacular backdrop to Queen Mary’s Place. One of only three Grade I listed buildings in SW15, the house is a stunning Baroque landmark: a formal Palladian mansion which lends the development an opulent elegance and classical charm. Traditional streetscapes containing new houses and apartment buildings have been thoughtfully designed to empathise with the historical architecture and, where possible, the existing landscape has been retained and restored.

Built by Thomas Archer in the early 18th Century and enlarged 200 years later, the three storey red brick building overlooked a beautiful expanse of leafy open space. Both the house and the 14 acre landscape are being sensitively enhanced to recapture the development’s true character and heritage. The original features of Roehampton House will be maintained both internally and externally, with Doric columns and wrought iron railings giving way to panelled walls, painted ceilings and black and white marble.

The restored gardens echo their historical design and the planting emulates the enclosures that formerly existed, while new gardens reflect the grandeur of the site but with a more contemporary outlook in style.
