Pont Street, Knightsbridge, SW1

This experimental project was conceived and designed by the creators of among other things the famous Wally 118 Power yacht, Roman architectural practice Lazzarini Pickering Architetti. The brief was to exceed every conceivable standard of quality, efficiency and innovation. Standards previously considered exceptional were simply not good enough. Technology and pioneering techniques were all concealed behind the historic fabric of this converted 1867 built house. Tolerances exceeding even a millimetre were not permitted, and this is why the end product can only be described as a yacht rather than a residence. Expect the unexpected.
