Connaught Place
This exclusive development of distinguished residences overlooking Hyde Park has opulent hand
crafted interiors complete with concierge services and offers a unique freehold acquisition opportunity.
Originally built in the early 19th century as a magnificent terrace of town houses that were influenced
by the Georgian and Regency periods, Connaught Place now forms part of a conservation area
and is protected by a Grade II listing.
The brickwork arches, stucco façades, wrought iron verandas and Doric columned porticos allude to an
eminent history, yet the dignity of the architecture maintains its relevance today.
From London’s historic and cultural heart, this prime property has been restored to its former splendour
and re-emerges for a distinguished debut. We are delighted to present Connaught Place, winner of
the Best Residential Renovation at the 2014 UK Property Awards.

Design without compromise5 Connaught PlaceInterior design specialists, 1508 London, have been appointed to create the magnificent and inspirational
interiors at Connaught Place. Their skills range from developing some of London’s most unique properties,
creating imaginative interiors for luxury developments, flawlessly integrating the old and new in architectural
refurbishments to commissioning bespoke furniture and contemporary art.
The rich Regency heritage has influenced the key design approach in the choice of materials, the generous
spatial arrangements, the preservation of high ceilings and retention of period details. The introduction of
contemporary features is sensitively balanced within the classic context to give rise to interiors that are both
glamorous and refined.

Technical Systems
Name-checked by recording artists and filmmakers the world over for three
decades, Harris Grant has transformed the way sound and pictures are captured
and perfectly reproduced.
Under the direction of acoustician Neil Grant, this acclaimed design practice has
created an impressive portfolio of extraordinary audiovisual environments for
discerning clients in Europe, North America and the Far East.
The roots of Harris Grant lie firmly in the music and motion picture industries. In
1986, Grammy Award winning composer and performer Peter Gabriel engaged
Harris Grant to oversee the architectural, acoustic and technical design of Real
World Studios in the west of England. The birthplace of countless hit records, this
audaciously-designed complex remains one of the world’s iconic music recording
spaces. Since then, Neil has fine-tuned the sound of studios, film dubbing
suites and concert halls on both sides of the Atlantic. And it ’s no surprise that
many of his commercial clients also engage Neil to oversee their own home
entertainment and IT systems.
Building on this internationally renowned professional audio heritage, Harris
Grant today brings the same spirit of excellence to discerning residential clients.
From home cinemas to the world’s most opulent super-yachts, every project by
Neil Grant fuses state-of-the-art technologies and materials with an innate sense
of luxury and craftsmanship.
The Brief

The Finishesat 5 Connaught Place5 Connaught Place is exquisitely individual with each room
radiating a distinct identity. Kitchens and bathrooms, walls and
floors have been perfected using a palette of the finest materials
available. Limestone, timber, granite and Italian marble were
sourced and sampled from international suppliers; only those that
met our stringent quality standards were selected.
A range of the finishes chosen and commissioned for Connaught
Place is shown. Due to the natural patina of the stone and marble
and the subtle variations in wood graining, each residence is
bespoke, unique and utterly exclusive.
In the world of high profile luxury developments, a concierge service is now regarded as an absolute necessity. In this important area, Harrods
Estates Asset Management is leading the way through knowledge, experience and with all the resources of Harrods retail at their disposal.
This is a hotel-style facility, which will assist residents in every way. Our concierges are highly trained, professional, discreet and trustworthy,
and furthermore can call upon all the resources of Harrods for the ‘Front Desk’.
Food, flowers, gifts and personal items can be delivered at short notice, selected from Harrods’ finest ranges. The concierge can arrange a
rental car, a chauffeured limousine, even a private helicopter. More prosaically, the concierge will undertake such tasks as receiving deliveries
and tradespeople, greeting, screening and escorting visitors, making restaurant reservations, arranging a maid service, booking travel or
events, or simply walking the dog.
No task too small, no request too extraordinary.
