For No. 11 Carlton House Terrace, Lutyens’s 1922 work for Benjamin Guinness subtly reconfigured Pennethorne’s staircase by adding a bridge to the gallery and a column screen below, and inserted round‑arched lobby spaces that more intricately articulate the first‑floor room sequence.

Description

At No. 11 (Foreign Press Association) Pennethorne did the interiors, for the 5th Lord Monson. Staircase with one straight flight and twin semicircular returns, cleverly complicated by Lutyens for Benjamin Guinness, 1922: a bridge was added from the landing to the gallery across the far wall (made c. 1876), and a column-screen made below. Pretty round-arched lobbies separate the first-floor rooms. (Bradley & Pevsner, 2003, p.441)
