This Grade II listed apartment on Tite Street in Chelsea, RBKC, occupies a building originally used as the residence of Oscar Wilde. Over time, the property was subdivided into multiple flats with limited consideration for the original spatial order, leading to the loss and concealment of much of its historic fabric. This project represents the second apartment within the building commissioned to London Atelier. The intervention begins with a careful removal of later finishes. At first floor level, this process revealed a series of layered wall treatments, partially preserved beneath subsequent alterations. Rather than erasing these traces, the design retains and exposes them, allowing colour, texture and age to remain visible as part of the interior surface. The walls act as a record of occupation, acknowledging the building’s past. New elements are introduced with clarity and restraint. Steel and glass partitions define thresholds while maintaining continuity of light, and freestanding joinery in oak and marble organises storage and domestic functions. These additions are deliberately set apart from the existing fabric. The result is a calm interior where historic layers and contemporary interventions remain in measured balance.
