Situated amongst the many embassies and blue plaque residences in Knightsbridge, Hyde Park Gate is a high-end refurbishment consisting of a basement dig with underpinning, façade restoration, extension and courtyard, new lift, feature staircase, underfloor heating, comfort cooling throughout and six floors of luxurious finishes. The entrance lobby features a bespoke mix of Italian travertines abutting curved walls and curved oak skirting across the ground floor hallways. The lower ground floor kitchen and dining room features the bold use of marble with generous slabs of Green Ming, Giallo Siena and Arancio di Selva in bold counterpoint to each with the marble palette again referenced in the in-situ terrazzo floor. To one side of the dining area, a work by the acclaimed American artist James Turrell, part of his ‘Constellation’ series, quietly cycles through its colours over the course of the day. The project was recognised at the British Safety Council International Safety Awards 2021, in recognition of Westgreen’s ‘commitment to health, safety and wellbeing during 2020, the most challenging year in recent times’.
