Description
Artisan is a mixed-use development in Fitzrovia that involves street level retail units with 13 apartments above.  The building was awarded the Evening Standard New Homes Award for 2016.  The development involved the conversion of 5 historic terraced houses in what the Evening Standard described as, ".... an elegant but challenging conversion."



The Evening Standard adds that, ".... Thirteen elegant apartments and penthouses were carved from the upper floors of five historic terrace houses, including a painstaking reconstruction in a void created by severe bomb damage during the Blitz.  Inside, some apartments have a lateral layout across two buildings, although instead of an ordinary open-plan layout, architects Rolfe Judd installed flexible sliding walls and screens to allow residents to shut off part of the space to create privacy. A curving oak and glass staircase in the show apartment is a stand-out feature."
