London’s former Old War Office – where Churchill commanded the British Armed Forces and Ian Fleming dreamt up James Bond – has been transformed into the world’s first Raffles-branded residences. 

After being closed off to the public for over a century, this neo-baroque, Grade II* listed gem has opened its doors to reveal 85 unique apartments, 30,000 square feet of residents-only amenities, an opulent Five Star Raffles Hotel, and eleven bars and restaurants.

With history in the making, we knew we had to create a scheme befitting The OWO Residences’ impressive cultural pedigree and top Whitehall location. So, we set to work adorning one of its beautiful three-bedroom apartments with handcrafted Savoir Beds, hand-painted ceramic lamps, richly embroidered curtains, brushed-bronze lights, and an array of serious collector's pieces.
