Smith Square, Westminster, London

Smith Square is a prestigious Grade II listed residential building situated in the beating heart of the capital’s political centre, just a stone’s throw from the Palace of Westminster.

The owners of this stylish ground-floor apartment came to DKBS with a very specific set of goals: to maximise and expand the available living space and introduce more natural light throughout the property. Some meticulous planning and cutting edge interior architecture enabled the major technical challenge of replacing internal structural walls with steel frames & beams, and the introduction of a spectacular new glass-roofed kitchen that opened onto an outside central terrace area by way of full-length sliding doors. An inspired design that created a light and airy focal point in the hub of the home and a peaceful oasis of calm hidden away from the comings and goings of city life.
