A+D Studio was commissioned to redevelop this site on the corner of
Northington Street and King’s Mews in the Bloomsbury Conservation Area. The
original building was a small two storey garage and flat which had fallen into
disrepair and was allegedly once occupied by Diana Dors.

This high quality residential development of six apartments ranges from
small studios to a superb luxury air conditioned apartment with extensive roof
terraces creating valuable amenity
space. A simple but striking building of four storeys on Northington
Street and three storeys on King’s Mews it conforms to the scale and character of
the surrounding area and integrates well into the wider streetscape and will
come to be seen to be a valuable enhancement to Bloomsbury.
The elevations adjacent to the neighbouring buildings are in matching
London Stock brickwork whilst the corner of the development has a white rendered
finish reflecting the buildings immediately opposite. The part of the
development on King’s Mews itself is three storeys with large openings at
ground level and smaller windows at upper levels and has been designed to
respect the traditional appearance of a typical mews building.
Large composite windows and sliding doors make each room very light and
airy. Luxury bathrooms with Royal Mosa tiles, SieMatic kitchens, European Oak
floors and staircases complete the clean modern atmosphere.

With an
emphasis on sustainability, the building achieves Code 3 of the Code for
Sustainable Homes, utilises air source heat pumps, brown roof, triple-glazing
and the highest standards of thermal insulation.
