The redevelopment of 7 Browning Mews in London transformed a former property into a luxury four-storey residential building. The project site lies directly beside the UCH Heart Hospital, which made careful planning and coordination essential.
The scheme delivers a bespoke mix of homes. It features a duplex apartment on the lower ground and ground floors, while the upper levels contain two modern one-bedroom apartments. This layout maximises the potential of a compact mews plot and creates high-quality living spaces in central London.
Key works included the construction of a new basement. This required precise excavation, underpinning, and waterproofing to extend usable living space. Externally, the team created a finely detailed brick façade with elegant bronze-framed windows, ensuring the building blends with the surrounding conservation area. Internally, the property received a full fit-out with bespoke joinery, premium finishes, and modern service installations. As a result, the development combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary standards.
An important heritage requirement shaped the design. The Grade II curtilage-listed rear elevation at lower ground level needed protection throughout construction. To achieve this, engineers installed specialist support systems and monitored the structure at every stage. Collaboration with conservation officers ensured the historic fabric remained intact while the new building rose around it.
Working in a tight mews site beside an operational hospital created significant logistical challenges. The project team introduced strict delivery schedules, sequenced works carefully, and maintained excellent communication with stakeholders. This approach minimised disruption, upheld safety standards, and kept the programme on track.
In conclusion, 7 Browning Mews demonstrates Whistlers’ ability to manage complex urban redevelopment, heritage preservation, and luxury residential construction. The project highlights the company’s skills in delivering high-spec homes within demanding city environments.
