Project Profile
This project involved the creation of a high quality office accommodation within this 6-storey former town house located in west central London.
Prior to commencement of works, the building was being used as serviced office space. The building was stripped back to the bare shell and the roof extended to the rear to enlarge the fourth floor. During the strip out, a large chamber was discovered below the basement and the Comms Room is now housed within this chamber.
The building is designed to achieve a quality feel to the building and to this end the M&E services were concealed as much as possible. As such, the services had to be very carefully coordinated around the existing building framework and new fittings.
Following completion of the project, the building comprises a mixture of cellular and open plan offices housing up to six people, reception area, new meeting area, two gymnasia, shower area and Comms Room.
