Planning success for a residential project in North London

We are delighted to announce we have received full planning permission for the refurbishment of a magnificent Grade II listed building.   Located on the Grosvenor Estate within the Mayfair Conservation Area, our plans focus on the interior architecture with minimal intervention to the grand external façade.   Removing the contemporary additions, introduced over past decades, our designs will reinstate the original features lost or considerably altered throughout all floors within the property.

We are delighted to have received full planning permission for an exciting project in Wales.

We are delighted to announce IO House has been presented with two 2023 OPAL Awards.   IO House, an elegant yet playful family home, triumphed in the categories of Architectural Design / House Interior and Architectural Design / Residential Single.   The Outstanding Property Awards London, OPAL, is a well-established global programme. With offices in London, Budapest, Bangkok and Los Angeles, the awards attract entries from around the world. Celebrating creativity within the global built environment, the international jury, consisting of 30 property experts, evaluates each entry against the criteria of design excellence, practicality and functionality, green design and originality. With competition from across the UK and Europe, Asia and America, we are thrilled IO House has been recognised by the OPAL jury.

It was a big night for the grand residence on Avenue Road. At the Design et al International Design & Architecture Awards 2023, the magnificent house picked up the award for Residential Swimming Pool 2023 and was named Global Project Award 2023 Winner.   Huge congratulations to Mdesign London and the entire team on delivering such a beautiful home.   As the architects on the project, KSR’s role was to translate and realise the complex and highly detailed interiors. Coordinating the various building disciplines, we worked together to create an exceptional residence; a sophisticated home that enjoys a refined sense of luxury.   Seung-Hoon Yang (left), and Maria Zappone, (centre) from KSR attended the awards’ ceremony and are pictured here with Rupal Shah (right), Senior Interior Designer at Mdesign London.   Read more about this project here.  

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the much anticipated, 2023 KSR Pub Quiz.   The event was held to raise funds for Afrika Tikkun, a charity dedicated to transforming communities in South Africa by supporting vulnerable children and equipping them with the skills needed to succeed in life. Proceeds from a raffle, drawn on the night, boosted the total amount raised to over £2,600.   Quiz Master, and Partner here at KSR, Dan Curtin, challenged the eleven participating teams with rounds including ‘Questions my 3-year-old could answer’ and the more-difficult-than-it-sounds ‘Which dinosaur am I?’
