Nestled in the busy streets of Chelsea , the beautiful Grade II listed Pelham Place building has been exceptionally restored into a functional and highquality family home with the help of Havwoods ’ wood flooring .

TIMELESS TRADITION :

THE PELHAM PLACE PROJECT BY HAVWOODS

Whilst preserving its heritage value , the brief was to adapt the listed home to better suit the needs of modern day living . The Georgian-style property underwent alterations to the rear elevation , an extension of the southern closet wing and a new bespoke iron staircase to showcase classic design . The décor was further characterised with steel-framed double doors that open out to the rear garden , creating a seamless connection with the outside .
Enhancing the interior with depth and natural character , Havwoods ’ exquisite Salvo Prime Dark Oak chevron flooring promises an uninterrupted transition across each room in the home . The kitchen and dining areas are also surfaced with the Salvo finish , with a striking Italian Arabescato marble kitchen countertop and island to complete the overall look .
Chosen for its beautifully on-trend and timeless pattern , the Salvo board from the
Design from Havwoods collection delivers a flooring solution perfect for traditional townhouses . The genuine reclaimed wood surface wears the patina of its past , with natural scuffs and marks , providing a characterful choice for the property .
The aesthetic is completed with rich green tones and luxurious brass detailing to enhance the elegant feel , resulting in a wellappointed heritage home that exudes hints of chic contemporary character .
