Project Overview
Swan House is a Grade II Listed Building, facing the River Thames at Chelsea Embankment, London. It was designed by Norman Shaw as a private residence and was built in 1874.

A 6-storey house, it has a gross internal floor area of some 15,000 sq ft.
Extensions and an indoor swimming pool have been added to the building and its usage was changed at some stage so as to accommodate offices. The property had been vacant since 1990.

New owners undertook complete refurbishment and restoration of the external fabric and the interiors of the building, and its reinstatement as a single-family residence of very high quality. 20th century extensions to the house will be converted into staff accommodation.
