This scheme involved the extension and high quality refurbishment of a Grade I listed residence and linked Grade II listed mews house. Works include the demolition and re-building of the mews house whilst retaining the front façade, and the creation of an orangery and garden terrace between the main and mews houses.

The roof has been re-modelled to accommodate a playroom at fourth floor level and a roof terrace. The basement has been extended and deepened to accommodate a swimming pool complex.

Structural Engineering Works included:

• Underpinning party walls to enable contiguous piling work in close proximity
• Temporary flying shores and braced frame support to adjacent party walls
• Temporary needling and lateral support framing to the retained façade, enabling removal of its supporting structure below
• Extensive propping to the perimeter contiguous piling forming the basement swimming pool
• Close co-operation with our in-house Temporary Works Department permitted a full understanding of the Consulting Engineer’s design intent.
• Detailed sequencing of the early demolition, piling and temporary works installations enabled optimum construction periods to the basement works.

High quality finishes are being installed including:

• Restored existing ornate cornices, ceiling roses and column capitals
• Marble and stonework, including decorative features to the pool hall and columns / pilasters to the entrance hall
• Elaborate mosaic tiling to the pool
• Armourcoat plastering
• Mahogany panelling and carved features including pediments, columns and pilasters
• Scagliola circular columns and pilasters
• Antique and new oak parquet flooring
• New vaulted and domed ceilings
