The studio was renovated by respected modernist architect and academic Jonathan Woolf. It has been decorated with wonderful taste, blending contemporary elegance and creative details. The moveable screens were inspired by the traditional mashrabiya found across the Middle East and designed by respected Egyptian architect Nabil Ghaly.

The property includes a paved front patio.

This historic studio was built in the 1840s and once used by the celebrated sculptor Sir William Goscombe John. He is remembered for his moving memorials after the Boer War and the sinking of the Titanic, as well as to the victims of the First World War. The next-door property was later home to sculptor Willi Soukop.
