Refurbishment and CAT A fit-out of a Grade II listed office building located within the City of Westminster. The works included the addition and removal of partitions, installation of new doors, alterations to the stairs, replacement of building services throughout, new ceilings, new flooring finishes and raised metal floors, repair and redecoration of the existing fabric, new lighting proposals and replacement of lift. The interior design focused on the modernisation of the common areas. The reception area opened-up and a free-standing reception desk was installed as well as new decorative high quality finishes, in keeping with the historic character of the original building. The existing suspended ceilings were stripped out and a new refurbished ceiling at the level of the original lath was installed. Quality materials and quality design set the tone for a more sophisticated interior, more reflective of the stature of the external appearance of the property. The staircase balustrade has been altered and new finishes have been installed to brighten the space.
To improve visual connection and enhance flow of movement and connectivity, dark stained timber doors with large glazed panels were installed between staircase and lift core at all levels. Timber panelling around the new bronze lift doors provide depth and warmth to the room. On the upper floors all existing cellular partitions and suspended ceilings were stripped out and where possible the historic cornicing was reinstated. This also enabled the window head architrave details to be reinstated. The existing secondary glazing was also replaced with an elegant slimline system. Brushed brass ceiling lights were installed to all floors to give a unique character and consistency throughout the building. All toilet and wash rooms were upgraded with quality materials, fixtures and fittings. |

Project Details |
Located within the Littleberries Estate, formally the headquarters of the British Province of the Order of The Daughters of Charity and St Vincent de Paul, this existing Grade II Manor is being sympathetically converted into twelve exceptional residential units.
At the heart of the Manor lies a late C17 house, extended in the late 18th Century, and increased through the addition of a Seminary Wing and Chapel in the mid-19th Century, and the Refectory Wing in the late 19th Century. A small lodge house sits to the west of the property forming part of the entrance into the site and will contain a family dwelling. The project has involved an intricate planning process, and extensive collaboration with the Local Authority. Considerate proposals have been developed to deliver a contemporary scheme within this sensitive building. The complexities of upgrading original structures to meet with current standards has involved innovative and challenging solutions, to ensure that original features are retained and enhanced. |
