Lincolns Inn Fields, Holborn

Rock Townsend was commissioned to refurbish and reconfigure the property, transforming it into a mixed-use space that combines modern living accommodation with office facilities. The project involved a multidisciplinary approach, with Rock Townsend providing MEP and fire engineering services, while Studio Shelley delivered specialist interior design. The fast-track retrofit was executed in close collaboration with the client, ensuring every detail—from furniture and fittings to accessories and appliances—was carefully selected to create a cohesive and personalized home.

The team worked closely with Camden Planning and the local Conservation Officer to develop a retrofit strategy that respected and enhanced the building’s historic features. The design introduced a reimagined layout with contemporary finishes and custom joinery, balancing modern functionality with heritage preservation.

The result is a thoughtfully revitalized property that celebrates its layered history while meeting the needs of modern living. Delivered within a modest budget, the project restores the building’s original character and integrates a harmonious blend of residential and office spaces in Lincoln’s Inn Fields.
