Hill Street, Mayfair

Hill Street is an 18th Century grade I listed townhouse. The property was originally the home of Sir Abraham Hume, an important cultural figure in 18th century London. The building is particularly important as it retains a virtually complete scheme of alteration and decoration by Robert Adam in the context of an earlier house by Benjamin Timbrell.

Firstplan obtained listed building consent and planning permission for a variety of works to enhance the office space provision including alterations to internal partitions, replacing the air conditioning system, providing satellite facilities, landscaping the courtyard and other refurbishment works. It was important to understand the significance of the building to ensure that the modern alterations could be incorporated whilst protecting this important heritage asset.
