This 1920’s house had inherent character and quality, especially to the windows, which provided beautiful natural light to 3 elevations. To this end, all services, walls, plaster work were stripped back to bare brick shell.

From Basement to Roof all existing structure was removed, including excavation of the basement approach, forming a stone stairway and balustrade of generous proportion to enable the basement to become a feature within the room. With removal of the old coal shute walls, we have created a utility area and boiler housing with its own natural light thru’ a larger sub ground window and escape light well to car parking area. The basement has also been fully tanked out.

All new partitions to ground floor are constructed to top specifications, consisting of twin skin plaster board to both sides of 75mm metal stud work with acoustic infill. All skirtings and architraves are set into outer skin with stop beads and final plaster finish, creating a continuous separation detail between all wood work and plaster finish.
