26 CASE STUDY
services include a 24-hour concierge, a 1,300 sq ft gym with a separate functional training room, spa treatment suite, secure residents’ underground car parking, games and media room, and wine cellar, all housed in five subterranean floors. Alongside the gym is a private residential
fitness and wellness service, provided by one the most sought-after professional fitness teams in London, SP&Co, and its newly launched ‘BodySPace’. Kingwood residents have access to in-house, world-class fitness and wellness technologies, equipment, programmes and treatments, the like of which it is claimed have not previously been available in private residential developments. Adding an extra element of class to
proceedings, Kingwood has introduced a fully-equipped professional catering kitchen for owners’ use when entertaining, which is serviced by a separate staff lift direct to each principal apartment, along with a dedicated chauffeurs’/staff restroom. Specifiers are increasingly introducing
smart technology into developments of this sort to optimise convenience and efficiency. With Finchatton’s super-prime specification, smart features were taken to the next level. From remote controlled, end of bed TV lifts, to smart windows that can

be opened, locked and covered with blinds at the push of a button, Kingwood apartments offer the cutting edge of technology. Smart heating and lighting are also integrated across the properties allowing for seamless home automation and control. Danielle Joyce, senior designer at
Finchatton, explained the design philosophy behind the finished result residents will enjoy: “Kingwood is orientated around the views over Hans Place Garden and focused on enabling as much natural light to reach key spaces. Hence the floating tread staircase in the Penthouse and the double height roof light above.” Providing some highlights of the
building’s luxury specifications, Joyce spoke of the interior’s “polished white plaster walls,” “Italian stone” and “wide plank wood flooring.” She described the development as “21st
Century living behind the facades of what were 19th Century townhouses.” The properties range from a still
eye-popping £21m, up to £31.5m, but some of the leases are already agreed. Only two apartments are yet to be finished, with both due for completion this month.
