The Whiteley London’s story is one of revival and reinvention. Once a grand London landmark, it has been reborn through a meticulous transformation that stands as a dialogue between eras — a seamless encounter between enduring heritage and modern design.
The building’s iconic clock tower — long a silent witness to the city’s rhythm — finds new purpose, becoming home to a Maxalto interior. The result is not merely a residence but a poetic convergence of history and contemporary craftsmanship, where time itself becomes part of the design narrative. Maxalto’s refined interiors and The Whiteley’s storied architecture merge to create a residence both rooted in heritage and attuned to the future. It offers more than an address: it offers a narrative — of place, of craft, of time — where every space is composed, every material considered, and every moment integral to the art of living well.

A NEW CHAPTER IN DESIGN EXCELLENCE AT THE WHITELEY
Development Director Richard Shaw and Sales Director Charles Leight reflect on the evolution of The Whiteley and its partnership with Maxalto and Foster + Partners, offering insight into how design excellence and architectural heritage intertwine to create something truly timeless. Together, they describe the partnership as a meeting of shared philosophies: the architectural rebirth of a London institution and the refined Italian artistry of Maxalto. The result is a residence that stands as both a celebration of place and a benchmark for the future of design-led living.

Richard Shaw, Development Director
«The Maxalto interiors strike the same balance as the building itself an elegant dialogue between heritage and the now.»
