Set across two floors of The OWO Residences by Raffles, The Westminster Residence is the work of Banda, the London-based property and design practice founded by Edo Mapelli Mozzi. Rather than treat the home as a contemporary insertion within a historic shell, Banda used the building's past as its foundation — pairing vintage pieces and bespoke furniture with refined materials, so heritage reads as substance rather than decoration. The planning reverses the traditional townhouse order. Social spaces sit on the upper floor, opened to light, terraces and views across the city, while the bedrooms occupy the level below as a quieter retreat. It is a layout built for the rhythm of the building itself — family life by day, hosting by evening — with the kitchen, dining room, bar and terraces arranged as one continuous sequence. Arrival sets the tone: a dusty pink linen bench, a double-height chandelier by Orphan Works dropping through both floors, and an antique tapestry on the stair wall establish the residence's language of textile and vintage reference early. Off the entrance, a jewel-box study wrapped in tapestry-motif linen pairs a charred-timber desk with a small burgundy sofa, while a dark green lacquered powder room adds a moment of concentrated atmosphere. The kitchen, dressed in dark wood and marble, opens directly onto the rear terrace and connects to the dining room through double doors — spaces designed to work apart or together depending on the occasion. There, a burl walnut table sits beneath a Pistachio floral chandelier, with a vintage Mallayer rug and De Le Cuona-upholstered chairs grounding the room in texture. The rear terrace, speakeasy in mood, looks toward the London Eye, its planting drawing on nearby Hyde Park with poppies woven in as a quiet nod to the building's wartime history. Across the floor, the main living room splits into two rhythms within one open plan — a softer family side in linen and mohair, and a darker evening side built around a bespoke wall-mounted bar finished in burgundy lacquer and Breccia Vendôme marble, opening onto the principal terrace for larger gatherings. Below, the principal suite leans into its lower light with a restful, enclosed mood — burgundy accents, a lacquered headboard and full curtains framing the bed. Guest Bedroom I takes a darker green palette offset by lighter furniture, while Guest Bedroom II inverts the formula, a mid-toned room anchored by moodier, more sculptural pieces. Throughout, contemporary artwork by British artists threads the two floors together, continuing a home that treats history as a starting point rather than a script to follow. Hospitality by Raffles shapes daily life here — concierge, spa and restaurant access, private lounges, a vitality pool and a sixteen-seat cinema, all reachable without stepping outside. The address does the rest: Horse Guards Parade, Downing Street and St James's Park within minutes, Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square ten. Behind the residence itself lies a building few can rival for history. Churchill's wartime decisions moved through these same corridors, and Ian Fleming is thought to have drawn on his years here for James Bond — a past that makes The OWO Residences one of Whitehall's most storied addresses.
