Chelsea Cloisters

Occupying a 2 hectare site, one of the largest for a single building in London, AtelierWest recently achieved planning permission (subject only to Section 106 agreement) at Chelsea Cloisters for a thoughtfully designed three-storey vertical roof extension, including a two-storey mansard clad in green tiles, to accommodate a 90 room apart-hotel.

The design has been carefully developed to respect both the existing architecture and the character of the surrounding area while delivering a high-quality, sustainable finish.

The building’s entrances on Sloane Avenue and Lucan Place will be upgraded, alongside works to clean, repaint, repoint, and repair the exterior of the building.

The central courtyard will be significantly upgraded to incorporate conferencing and commercial facilities open to the wider community. The revitalised courtyard will feature a high-quality landscaped space, replacing the current stark outlook, and will include a Corten-clad café and gym.

These enhancements will not only improve the existing building but also contribute to a thriving economy within the neighbouring Brompton Cross District Centre.
