- Town houses
  - London
    - Grosvenor Square, number 18 (later 19), London: executed and unexecuted designs for interior decoration for the 8th Earl of Thanet, 1764-66 (14)

Record drawing for the ceiling for the saloon, 1765, as executed (1)

The saloon was located on the first floor, behind the gallery, and had originally been a rectangular room, but Adam converted it into an oval with curved recesses in the corners, and a deeply coved, coffered ceiling. Harris has compared this ceiling with that in the saloon at Kedleston.
