King’s Chapel

Aquascapes was privileged to design and construct bespoke swimming and spa facilities for King’s Chapel, a Grade II listed building at 459A Fulham Road, originally designed by the renowned Victorian architect Edward Blore, famed for his work on Buckingham Palace. The chapel, completed in 1841 for Derwent Coleridge, has been transformed into two bespoke residential properties, each featuring its own luxurious basement pool.

The project involved the creation of two deep basements with challenging technical constraints. The external pool is cleverly situated beneath a lodge attached to St Mark’s House and accessed via a discreet hidden walkway, preserving the building’s historic façade and character. In St John’s House, the lower ground floor incorporates a pool, private cinema, and gym, with all floors seamlessly connected by a private lift, blending convenience with opulent design.

Through innovative engineering, meticulous craftsmanship, and a sensitive approach to heritage conservation, Aquascapes delivered residential leisure spaces that merge modern luxury with historic elegance. The result is a pair of exceptional, bespoke pools and wellness areas that reflect both the prestige of the property and Aquascapes’ expertise in creating technically sophisticated, visually stunning residential wet-leisure environments.
