Award RIBA London Award 2023
100 Bayswater Road is a rare survival of a Grade II* listed Edwardian villa facing Kensington Gardens with a Brutalist rear extension designed by Alison and Peter Smithson. The house also has an interesting social history, stemming from a host of historical owners – including the writer J.M. Barrie. Untouched for almost 60 years, the house was in a state of disrepair. Giles Quarme Architects have undertaken an extensive, rigorous and sensitive intervention to provide 21st-century living accommodation, whilst retaining and enhancing the historical attributes of the original house and elements from work carried out on it in the 1900s and 1950s.
