Overview

An institutional asset, designed as a home.

A collection of 78 residences arranged across four restored white-stucco buildings on a quiet Kensington garden square. Designed in collaboration with a heritage-led architecture practice, every apartment is tuned for light, privacy and longevity.

Architectural Vision

"We approached Kensington as a custodian, not a developer — preserving the proportion and craftsmanship of the original facades while embedding a fully smart, low-energy building behind them."
