Chesham
Street
A two-bedroom apartment in Pembroke House, Belgravia — fully refurbished in three months. Master suite with walk-through dressing and ensuite, bespoke kitchen, and a material palette that makes 80 square metres feel like twice that.
01 — The project
Eighty square metres.
Every one earned.
Pembroke House sits on Chesham Street in the heart of Belgravia — one of London's most coveted residential addresses. The apartment had the bones of a beautiful home: a generous reception, a well-proportioned master bedroom, lift access, and the kind of ceiling heights that only period buildings deliver. What it lacked was a coherent interior worthy of the postcode.
Melner delivered a complete refurbishment in just three months — working with TFA Designs as architect and Supremati on the interior design. The speed of the programme was driven by precision, not shortcuts: every trade was pre-sequenced, every material pre-ordered, and every detail resolved on paper before a single wall was touched.
The layout was reconfigured to create a master suite with a walk-through dressing room and a private ensuite shower, a second bedroom with its own bathroom, a dedicated kitchen, and a dining room that opens into the main reception — a sequence of spaces that flows with an ease that belies the apartment's compact footprint.
Supremati's interior scheme draws on rich textures and warm, tonal layering — natural stone, soft upholstery, brushed brass hardware, and carefully considered lighting that gives each room a distinct mood while maintaining a unified palette throughout. It feels curated, personal, and unmistakably Belgravia.

02 — The spaces
Compact footprint. No compromise.
In a smaller apartment, every decision is amplified. There's nowhere to hide a poorly resolved junction, an awkward transition, or a material that doesn't quite land. Melner and Supremati treated the 80 square metres as a constraint that sharpened the design rather than limited it — each room flowing into the next with purpose, each surface finished to a level that rewards close inspection.
03 — The details
Texture, tone, and the quiet things.
Supremati's design language relies on material richness rather than bold gesture — natural stone in the bathrooms, soft linen and bouclé on the furniture, dark-stained timber joinery that gives depth to the kitchen, and brushed brass hardware that catches the light without demanding attention. The lighting scheme layers architectural downlights with decorative wall sconces and table lamps, allowing the mood to shift from bright daytime clarity to warm, intimate evening light.
“Three months is tight for any refurbishment. For a Belgravia apartment where the standard is non-negotiable, it demands a team that resolves every detail before the first fix begins — and then executes without hesitation.”
Melner's programme was structured around a simple principle: nothing waits on site. Materials were sourced and approved during the design phase. Joinery was manufactured off-site in parallel with the first-fix trades. Bathroom stone was templated from the architect's drawings and pre-cut, so that tiling could begin the moment waterproofing was complete.
The master suite was the most spatially complex element — a bedroom, walk-through dressing room, and ensuite shower arranged in sequence within a footprint that originally housed a single room and a corridor. The layout was resolved millimetre by millimetre on the drawing board, and delivered on site without a single revision.
All M&E services were replaced throughout — new electrical, plumbing, and a fully integrated smart home system. The apartment's lift access and plant cupboard were serviced and updated as part of the wider refurbishment, ensuring that the infrastructure is as considered as the surfaces.
