‘We Literally Rebuilt the Whole House From the Inside Out’ – Explore a Small Dark London Mews That’s Been Given a Chic Contemporary Makeover

Marble kitchen.

Once a warren of small and dark rooms, this late 20th-century mews, tucked away in a private gated street in Chelsea and built to blend with the period surroundings, now boasts a seductive, open-plan, and light-bathed interior. Soft hues, arched doorways, and swathes of beautifully veined marble ensure it has a distinct identity that exudes serenity and a quiet sense of luxury.

Nancy Gouldstone, founder of Nancy Gouldstone Architects, a London-based architecture and interior design practice, had worked on six other properties in the same street, and her house designs so impressed the young couple who bought the mews as their first home that they enlisted her to weave her magic and coax it into the 21st century. The result is an effortless, modern layout that completely reflects the clients’ lifestyle.
