Multi-phase upgrade of the grade II-listed gardens and 1930s residential complex includes energy efficiency improvements, new interiors and a redesigned entrance pavilion

A major refurbishment of the landmark Dolphin Square estate in Pimlico has been completed by GRID Architects and GRID Interiors, delivering a new main entrance as part of a wider plan to modernise the site while retaining its historic character.

Originally designed by Stanley Gordon Jeeves and built between 1935 and 1937, Dolphin Square comprises 1,234 private rental apartments across 13 blocks, set around 3.5 acres of landscaped gardens. The estate forms the centrepiece of the Dolphin Square Conservation Area and was added to the National Heritage List in 2018 for the historic and ecological significance of its gardens.
