Revealed: Wolff's latest luxury development has a basement bigger than most London homes

Architecture firm Wolff has revealed plans for its latest luxury development in London after it secured planning permission for a 15,000 sq ft mansion in St. John’s Wood.

The practice was given the go-ahead for the luxury development on Avenue Road, which is touted as one of North London’s most prestigious roads, back in April, and plans include a 7,000 sq ft basement with swimming pool, spa, home cinema and two double bedrooms.

The upper levels of the mansion include a kitchen-living-dining area on the ground floor with an upper floor entirely dedicated to seven double bedrooms.

As part of the work, Wolff has had to commission a series of geological and hydrological studies to ensure the massive property would not have undue impacts on drainage or structural stability in the area.

Nick Pritchett, Director of Wolff Architects, commented: ʺThe project is yet another example of our ability to win exclusive permissions for technically challenging developments.

“Planning rules in an area as exclusive and well-preserved as Avenue Road are rightly very stringent – especially when it comes to building an ambitious basement like we proposed.

“However, our teams are skilful and diligent so were able to produce plans for an innovative and luxury subterranean level that also preserves the geological stability of the surrounding area. The overall result is a modern property equipped with state-of-the-art recreational facilities that does not compromise on space.”

The boutique firm’s latest development comes after Wolff recently obtained planning permission for a row of six luxury townhouses in Muswell Hill.
