With an interior inspired by the development’s iconic military heritage and designed by multi-award-winning studio, Elicyon, the 12.8-acre historic site is another major milestone for the scheme.

Fashioning an interior that stands the test of time, Elicyon joins a broad team of visionaries to design these individual spaces, creating an ambiance and interior that is both exudes both a glamorous and relaxed way of living.

Richard Oakes, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Qatari Diar comments: "The unveiling of our first show residence and The Garrison Club at Chelsea Barracks is a significant moment for us. We are proud to be able to share this experience with our residents and showcase the level of attention to detail we, and our partners, have gone to in order to create an exquisite home and lifestyle offering.

“The residence has been brought to life with a design that will resonate with the tastes of our clientele; this is teamed with a distinct level of quality and consciousness that we have consistently sought to deliver across the development.

Honouring military heritage within the home, Elicyon has woven delicate military details, inspired by infantry uniforms and artillery, into the design to honour the heritage of the former 12.8-acre barracks.

Located on the 5th floor of 8 Whistler Square, which sits on Chelsea Bridge Road, the local area has also played into the design curation of the residence.

Blackened bronze accents add an unexpected industrial twist to the design complemented by bespoke joinery with intricate rivet detailing inspired by the nearby Chelsea Bridge.

Whilst Elicyon has created a large number of bespoke furnishings for the residence, standout pieces from international interior houses have also been incorporated into the design, from the likes of Andrew Martin and Arteriors and Colbourns, the London-based

handcrafted rug specialists. Spanning in excess of 4,300 square foot, the residence comprises four en-suite bedrooms - including a principal bedroom with dressing room – two living rooms, a dining room, cinema room, study and kitchen. The space provides an exemplary example of how the existing base build by Hirsch Bedner Associates can be personalised and dressed after purchase.

Wide, substantial doors and 2.8m high ceilings evoke London’s most prestigious houses to flood the residence with light, which is further enhanced by 19th-century British carriage lights. Beautiful English herringbone and marble flooring runs throughout the property, whilst the high specification, bespoke kitchens are fitted with state-of-the-art Sub-Zero, Wolf and Gaggenau appliances.

The Garrison Club

Not limited to superior levels of craftsmanship, residents at Chelsea Barracks will have access to The Garrison Club, an amenity offering that rivals those of the world’s leading five-star hotels facilities. Exuding elegance and sophistication, each space has been designed by a team of creatives to deliver a unique residential experience that is reflective of the developments prestige and signature status.

One of London’s most esteemed enclaves and the former British Army Barracks, Chelsea Barracks is an entirely new neighbourhood in Belgravia, spanning 12.8 acres from Pimlico Road to Ebury Bridge Road and across to Chelsea Bridge Road – five acres of which will be garden squares. The development comprises a rare collection of apartments, townhouses, penthouses and a mews house.
