Connaught Place
This exclusive small development of just six lateral 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.

A superlative setting
Connaught Place lies in the heart of London, an area of classic colonnades
and magnificent Georgian façades, overlooking the lush green expanse of
Hyde Park and nestling between Connaught Square and Marble Arch.
The Regency Residence
John Nash was responsible for much of the layout of Regency London under the patronage of the Prince
Regent, later crowned George IV. Amongst his major commissions was the remodeling of Regent ’s
Park and the creation of Regent Street. Completed in 1826, this was the world’s first purpose-built street
dedicated to retailing with ‘shops appropriated to articles of fashion and taste’.
The elegant, sweeping street is home to one of the finest collections of international brands that
epitomise London’s truly cosmopolitan character. The Regency Residence enjoys the same philosophy
with a setting borne of British refinement and a temperament ready to embrace the future.

Design without compromiseThe Regency ResidenceInterior design and architectural 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.
1508 London have designed some of the most distinguished and sumptuous homes currently available in
central London.
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 BriefRedrow London commissioned Harris Grant to specify and design technical
systems for Connaught Place that would reflect and support the aspirations
of its elite clientele. Redrow London’s brief was addressed with a state-of
the-art solution spanning media, networking and IT systems plus building
management and access control.
The SolutionEach of the residences offer high speed, extremely secure Internet access via
wired and wireless networks. Even if the owner wishes to conduct a video
conference with colleagues overseas, there’s plenty of spare bandwidth to
stream music and movies in High Definition at the same time.
Harris Grant has also provided each residence with a flexible, highly scalable
networking and control infrastructure. This allows other audiovisual, IT, lighting,
security and environmental systems to be seamlessly integrated in line with
clients’ own individual needs.
Innovation by appointment
World-leading acoustician and studio designer Neil Grant has added his unique creative signature to the audiovisual, IT and control systems to every residence in Connaught Place.

The Finishesat Connaught PlaceEach of the residences at Connaught Place is exquisitely individual.
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 our disposal.
The aim is to put in place 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 maid service, booking travel or events, or simply walking the dog.
No task too small, no request too extraordinary.
Beautiful and innovative contemporary design, unrivalled craftsmanship, and the highest standards of customer care are what set
us apart.
Established as a premium developer some 40 years ago, the heritage of master building, innovation and design have been brought
to bear on developing exceptional London homes.
