The vision for the redevelopment of Grosvenor Gardens House is to
restore the significant historic fabric of this Grade II listed building
to its former glory through a carefully considered regeneration strategy.
It is specifically the elevations and dramatic roofscape along Grosvenor
Gardens, Beeston Place and Buckingham Palace Road which capture
the essence of Thomas Cundy III’s mid-Victorian French Renaissance

style terraces. Some internal features, designed by others, are also

of significance as highlighted in the historic building report by Donald
S TO
Insall Associates, although the building has been remodelled various
BEE
times. The site presents unique challenges calling for innovative
solutions to ensure that Grosvenor Gardens House remains a viable,
