An established mansion block in Central London where roof coverings & structures
were removed to form two new apartments. Whilst replacing the roof
we installed an innovative electrical cupola that opened the top
of the apartment (creating more light and an open ambiance). The
building was enhanced with the addition of a traditionally designed
garden room built in steel to match the architectural fire escapes
of the mansion block. The project included also the remodeling and
refurbishment of apartments on lower levels.
Skilled craftsmen formed a new staircase fitting newel posts and a
hand rail equal in all respects to the original period staircase. A
bespoke kitchen was installed along with tailored cupboards, doors
and frames. The external elevations to the entire mansion were upgraded
including the repair or replacement of the existing Crittal windows,
stone impediments and re-pointing. Lead flashings were also replaced
using traditional methods to ensure the finished project reflected
the design and craftsmanship of the original building.
The Architect’s design was finely balanced to keep the existing
traditional design while delivering a contemporary design to meet the
client’s vision. |
