The conversion of 2 grade II listed former tannery warehouse buildings into 24 apartments. The Victorian buildings were derelict and in a poor state. We undertook extensive investigations to understand the layout and condition of each building and developed a scheme for retaining as much of the existing building as was feasible. The floor structures […]
Hanover Terrace, overlooking Regents Park, designed by John Nash in 1822, is listed Grade 1. This particular house had been subject to many unsympathetic alterations in the past and the current owner wanted to turn it into a family home. When we first visited the inside was in a terrible state with ceilings missing, floors […]
The RAAC in schools crisis in 2023 allowed us to provide our expertise in solving what was at the time a serious issue for the Department for Education. Working alongside a contractor we visited 25 schools to undertake an initial inspection, to review the condition of the RAAC panels. Their presence had already been identified […]
A new 38-unit residential development in conjunction with L&Q. The site was a vacant adult education site and included the former Caterham Valley Board School.

This part of Central London, in agent speak, is Super Prime. So it’s important to get a lot of bang for your buck. Here we joined 2 flats together, creating various holes in the Victorian party wall. These are of course riddled with chimney flues and so there was quite a lot of forensic work […]
Extension to the rear of this 16th Century, Grade II listed cottage. As tends to be the case with heritage projects the emphasis is always on the detail. In this instance we were required to keep the new structure wholly independent of the existing cottage and the neighbouring house. The extension is constructed using load […]
