Quality & Services
‍

Our contributions to this standout project included:

‍

• Windows and Doors: Designed to mirror the building’s Edwardian heritage, our windows and doors provided a balance between tradition and today's modern needs.
• Cladding: Our cladding efforts not only served functional purposes but also enhanced the building’s visual appeal, making it a standout structure in the neighbourhood.
• Perforated Panels: These panels added a unique touch to the building's exteriors, resonating with its historical background while providing a modern twist.

Highlight features of the project included the historic-inspired mesh façade and the innovative use of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). This latter feature allowed for the creation of two additional floors, maximising usable space. An existing lightwell was also cleverly transformed into cycle facilities, showcasing the project's emphasis on sustainability and user-friendly design.

Historical Relevance & Modern Applications
‍
Paying homage to its setting in the renowned Hatton Garden Conservation Area, a district celebrated for its fine jewellery craftsmanship, the renovated building dedicates a special 1,486 sq ft workspace for this artisan craft. The commercial potential of the location is harnessed in the basement, ground, and first floor, each of which fronts both Greville Street and Bleeding Heart Yard, with plans for retail and restaurant ventures.

‍

Sustainability and Innovation
‍
Most of the original structure was retained in this transformation, making it an exemplary project in sustainable redevelopment. The introduction of cutting-edge CLT technology reflects the project's commitment to environmental responsibility and innovative design.

Encompassing a total of 35,566 sq ft, meticulous planning ensured optimal utilisation of every part of the space.
