Home for an Artist South Kensington, London
A garden studio shaped by light, proportion and artistry.
Onslow Gardens is a layered restoration project by MWAI, combining townhouse refurbishment with the creation of a garden artist studio. The studio is conceived as an outdoor room—open, contemplative, and connected to nature. Its glazed façade and green roof blur the boundary between inside and outside, offering a serene space for creative work.
The townhouse itself was reconfigured to improve flow and light, with new openings aligned to historic columns, reinstated staircases, and a bridge link to the terrace. The project celebrates the interplay of heritage and modernity, craft and clarity.
