Kenwood House
William Earl of Mansfield, Lord Chief Justice of England, commissioned James and Robert Adam to modify and add to his modest villa in Hampstead. In 1770 Mansfield revealed the completed works including the new pavilion on the east side - a single great room of mixed function balancing the existing orangery on the west, in the words of Robert Adam, 'intended both for a library and a room for receiving company.' Adam's work was described in 1782 as 'A new room, one of its happiest improvements, is considered, for its proportions, decorations and novelty, as superior to anything of the kind in England.'
Technical trials, research, specification, and direction of conservation programme for reinstatement of the much altered and amended original 1770 Robert Adam designed decorative scheme for the Library, together with reinstatement of the Entrance Hall decoration and further interior and exterior plaster and paint advisory for English Heritage and Historic England.
