Design & Build

Sotheby’s International Realty, Kensington High Street

We were proud to partner once again with Sotheby’s International Realty for our second major collaboration—this time to design and fully renovate their new office space on Kensington High Street. Tasked with creating an environment that echoed the brand’s refined elegance while meeting the practical needs of a busy estate agency, we delivered a full-service solution that brought form and function into perfect balance.

From the very beginning, working closely with the client was central to our process. They entrusted us not only with the look and feel of the space, but with interpreting their vision into something beautifully tangible. That trust allowed for a truly collaborative design journey—one where we could listen deeply to their needs, respond creatively, and refine each detail together.

Flow

A key challenge was to carve out three distinct meeting rooms within a relatively compact footprint, while still preserving a sense of openness and flow. Our response was to craft a central lounge area anchored by a bespoke TV wall, complete with integrated display shelving—both functional and a subtle nod to high-end residential styling.

Maximizing Use of Space

Throughout the renovation, we discovered thoughtful ways to maximise the use of space. In one of the meeting rooms, we reimagined the layout by removing sections of the existing cabinetry and introducing a delicate partition formed from vertical wooden slats—adding rhythm, warmth and texture without closing the room in. Rather than defaulting to all-glass partitions, we designed structural elements like additional columns and framed walls that not only defined zones but also enhanced the architectural cohesion of the entire office.

Atmosphere & Sustainability

The atmosphere was a key consideration. We wanted the space to feel soft and homely—inviting yet polished. The lighting strategy was layered with care: ambient lighting provides an overall warmth, while accent lighting highlights artwork and bespoke details, and task lighting ensures practicality where it’s needed most.

Sustainability was integral to our approach. Rather than replacing the existing timber flooring, we chose to sand and restore it—preserving its natural beauty and character while making a more environmentally conscious decision.

The result is a workplace that feels elevated yet approachable—a space where luxury and comfort live side by side, shaped by trust, collaboration, and a shared vision.

From initial site set-up through to final detailing, we managed all logistics, coordinated all trades, and delivered the project on schedule. Working closely with the client allowed us to remain responsive and proactive—offering design solutions that balanced aesthetics with function, and always with commercial viability in mind.

The result is a flat that now feels calm, contemporary and highly liveable—fit for purpose, compliant, and ready for market. For the client, it’s another solid investment, delivered with trust and care. For us, it’s a continuation of a valued partnership built on quality, communication, and attention to detail.
