Gregory Phillips Architects is a London architectural studio with more than 30 years of experience designing exceptional private homes, with a project in Bayswater that transformed a Victorian mews house on Hyde Park Garden Mews, giving it an entirely new frontage built over a modern steel-framed structure within.
Bayswater’s Victorian stucco terraces, garden squares and mews streets sit just north of Hyde Park, within one of Westminster’s most tightly protected conservation areas: a setting where thoughtful, well-executed design matters more than most.
Given how much of Bayswater sits within a conservation area, it’s often worth talking to us early, before a brief is finalised, so any planning constraints can shape the design from the outset rather than force changes later.
Architects in Bayswater
One of our most striking projects in Bayswater involved the transformation of a Victorian mews house on Hyde Park Garden Mews: an entirely new frontage in brick and historic detailing, layered onto a new steel-framed structure within. Extending through excavation created room for a large kitchen and reception with a study area, a media room, a gym, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, all behind a façade that remains true to the mews’ historic character.
Bayswater’s Victorian stucco terraces and mews streets, laid out in the nineteenth century around Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, sit almost entirely within a conservation area administered by Westminster City Council. Full planning permission is required for most external changes here rather than the lighter-touch permitted development rights available elsewhere, something we navigate regularly, having prepared applications and heritage statements for similarly sensitive Westminster settings.
Behind every finished home is a build phase that’s just as important as the design itself. We stay closely involved on site from the first fix through to snagging, working with contractors and specialists we know well, so what gets built matches what was drawn, not an approximation of it.
If you’re considering a project in Bayswater, whether a mews house, a stucco terrace or a garden square property, we’d be glad to talk through what’s possible, even at a very early stage.
In Bayswater, our studio offers the full range of architectural services, with involvement from concept design and planning consents through to construction information and house styling.
