This completed project forms part of a Grade I listed John Nash terrace in the prestigious Regent’s Park Conservation Area. The property has a rich history and was formerly the home of science fiction novelist H.G. Wells.
The Diorama is the last remaining building of its kind, and was originally built behind a John Nash Terrace to house an early French theatre concept which became a precursor to motion picture. Granted unanimous planning approval, our design proposals aim to respect and enhance the properties’ historic importance through the reinstatement of the former rotunda space which housed the theatre’s audience on a rotating platform. The proposals look to convert two buildings which flank either side of the historic diorama entrance, back into single family homes with the Diorama space becoming high quality office space.
Design proposals will involve the extensive refurbishment of a single family property on Regent’s Park. The house sits alongside previous projects completed by MWA in the vicinity of Regent’s Park including previous developments on Hanover Terrace, Park Square East, Park Square West and Cumberland Terrace. Proposals include bespoke glass arched doors with marble and warm metal finishes to create an opulent modern home for our Client

Regent’s Park is a Royal Park located in north-west central London, spanning the City of Westminster and the London Borough of Camden. The park is home to Regent’s College and the London Zoo. Surrounding the park on the south, east, and most of the west sides are white stucco terrace houses designed by John Nash. To the south of the park are Park Square and Park Crescent, also Nash designs. Regent’s Canal runs through the northern part of the park, linking the Grand Union Canal with the former London docks. North of Regent’s Park lies Primrose Hill, offering views of Westminster and the City.
Architecture in Regent’s Park
Regent’s Park, established in the early 19th century, has a rich history closely tied to the vision of the Prince Regent, later King George IV. In 1811, the Prince commissioned architect John Nash to design an elegant green space amidst London’s rapid expansion. Nash’s ambitious plan featured an inner circle of grand villas and a picturesque parkland landscape, including a beautiful lake.
This vision laid the groundwork for the park’s enduring charm, blending natural beauty with architectural marvels. Notable structures within the park include the Holme Building, an exquisite example of Regency architecture that now houses The Crown Estate’s headquarters, and Cumberland Terrace, a row of terraced houses showcasing Nash’s mastery of urban design. The park’s heritage extends to the Regent’s Park Open-Air Theatre, a cultural landmark since 1932, and the ZSL London Zoo, the world’s oldest scientific zoo, dedicated to conservation and education since 1828.
