60 Curzon, Thierry W. Despont

60 Curzon is an eagerly anticipated addition to London’s prestigious property market, located in Mayfair, where the iconic Mirabelle restaurant once welcomed figures such as JFK and Winston Churchill. This development introduces a new era of luxury with 32 meticulously designed residences that blend historic charm with modern sophistication. The debut show apartment, priced at approximately $31.4 million, showcases a collaboration with the esteemed London-based design studio Elicyon, known for its work at One Hyde Park and Chelsea Barracks.

The building holds the distinction of being the only private residential project in Europe designed by the acclaimed French architect Thierry Despont. His signature Art Deco style, which has shaped notable London landmarks such as Claridge’s, is evident in the building’s façade, which balances classical proportions and intricate detailing. Inside, Elicyon’s design brings a fresh and contemporary atmosphere, appealing to modern tastes while honoring the building’s historic lineage.

“We drew inspiration from the building’s architectural heritage and crafted a space that seamlessly balances Art Deco influences with modern comforts,” explains Charu Gandhi, founder and director of Elicyon.

The show apartment, spanning 4,209 square feet, features original Art Deco elements paired with custom furnishings, exuding sophistication without sacrificing warmth. The living room is distinguished by items such as a walnut side table and a checker-patterned oak cabinet, which infuse character into the space. The dining area, reminiscent of the Mirabelle’s rich legacy, includes a mirrored drinks cabinet, a baby grand piano, and an antique bar trolley, setting the stage for intimate dinners and lively cocktail events.

In the primary bedroom suite, comfort and elegance blend seamlessly. A pair of powder-blue armchairs offer a cozy reading spot, while a vintage scalloped dressing table chair from Marylebone Antiques adds a distinctive touch. Beside the bed, olive-green tile cabinets by British ceramicist Matthew Raw add a hint of local craftsmanship, reinforcing the connection to the area’s heritage. Walking down the hallway, one encounters a guest room adorned with statement pieces like a 1936 maple wood grand piano and a 660 lb marble urn from the 19th century, showcasing a balance of gravitas and style. Elicyon’s design skillfully layers historical elements with bold modern features, creating an environment that feels both timeless and inviting.

The property’s outdoor space further enhances its appeal. The 807-square-foot private terrace is adorned with antique planters, lush greenery, and elegant outdoor furniture, creating a garden-like escape that evokes the feeling of a country manor. This terrace offers residents a peaceful haven with views over the vibrant Mayfair neighborhood. 60 Curzon is thoughtfully composed of various residences, from spacious lateral apartments to two exclusive penthouses, all surrounding a private, south-facing courtyard garden. The building’s architectural design by Lee Polisano of PLP Architecture incorporates a Portland Stone façade, adding an air of refined elegance and contextual sensitivity that complements the historic surroundings.

Amenities at 60 Curzon cater to an elite lifestyle. The property features a state-of-the-art wellness level complete with a swimming pool, gym, sauna, steam room, and private treatment rooms. A club lounge at street level serves as both a private gathering space and a quiet library for residents. The building also offers temperature-controlled storage rooms, perfect for safekeeping rare wines, whiskies, and other valuables.

The former site of the Mirabelle restaurant has been reimagined with a new restaurant that includes private dining rooms, offering residents privileged access to a space designed for both casual and formal entertaining. This homage to its storied past adds depth and character to 60 Curzon.

Located in Mayfair, 60 Curzon is surrounded by a blend of traditional and contemporary London life, from award-winning restaurants and private clubs to renowned art galleries and high-end boutiques. Residents enjoy the proximity to Mount Street, Bruton Street, and Dover Street, offering a variety of shopping and dining experiences. This prime location ensures that living at 60 Curzon is about the lifestyle it represents—one that merges history, culture, and modern luxury seamlessly, solidifying its position as a pinnacle of sophisticated city living.
