Rigby & Rigby is behind the two penthouse suites situated within the iconic hotel, the Emory, in Knightsbridge. The suites benefit from 360-degree views overlooking both Hyde Park and Belgravia, offering spectacular panoramas of the city.
The foundation for Rigby & Rigby’s design was the juxtaposition of glamour and serenity in suspension – in many ways the definition of modern-day luxury living. We have taken inspiration from the blending of the elements; from the shift of Hyde Park and it’s lake, to the urban environment surrounding it and the skies above. The result of this an engineered and contemporary design that is further enhanced by dynamic, bold geometry, an innovative use of materials and an amenity and wellness offering for a new era of clientele.
