Wimshurst Pelleriti disguises contemporary development with rebuilt west London frontage

RSHP spin-off Wimshurst Pelleriti has completed a development of nine contemporary homes in west London, concealing it behind the rebuilt frontage of an Edwardian terraced house.

The Knightsbridge House development, on Acton Lane near Chiswick, delivers the new units around a courtyard formed by two existing buildings – one of which is three storeys, the other four. The homes are a mix of one-bed and two-bed apartments.

Practice director Leo Pelleriti said securing consent from Ealing borough council had required the street-facing elevation of the terrace to be rebuilt in the “traditional style” of neighbouring recent developments.
