It was extended and refurbished by George Grey Wornum in the 1930s, the architect best known for designing the RIBA building at 66 Portland Place, including the stunning communal spiral staircase and terrazzo flooring. The apartment served as the building's cafeteria, designed by Wornum, and retains many original features, such as restored panel paintings by the talented designer and painter Miriam Wornum and 16-foot vaulted ceilings.
