Oxford Rd South - refurbishment & extension

  • 07 May 2020

This run down large Victorian semi-detached house needed a full refurbishment with some substantial steel work to form an ultra modern and sleek extension at the rear. We love the continuity of the polished concrete that flows from the kitchen to the patio with 9m wide slimline sliding doors.

Comyn Road - refurbishment & extension

  • 07 May 2020

This two-storey apartment, within a converted Victorian property in Battersea, was in need of a complete overhaul. Our client also wanted to increase the footprint on the ground floor without overly compromising the garden. Through some careful structural changes, the internal accommodation was able to be sufficiently reconfigured to enable a rear kitchen extension and the inclusion of much needed, built-in storage.

Sydney Road - refurbishment

  • 07 May 2020

Our client on this project was a developer who had owned the property for seven years and not got around to renovating it! We essentially took the project off his hands and initially re-designed the whole layout and maximised the space including knocking through into the old coal bunker and creating an underground shower.
Hawksmoor with our design and build team completely transformed the property from a derelict uninhabitable bunker into a beautiful contemporary dwelling going to the full extent of staging the property for sale.

Smeaton Road - loft conversion

  • 07 May 2020

This project involved converting the loft of a two-bedroom Victorian house into a master bedroom with ensuite shower room. Despite the property’s position on a tight site - and the related height constraint of the existing loft space – the ridge of the roof was able to be raised to make the conversion possible. A zinc-clad dormer was added to the rear, across the full width of the house, which has given the new top floor a surprisingly light and spacious feel and ultimately transformed this home to make it viable for a family of four.

Chelsea Harbour - refurbishment

  • 07 May 2020

We worked closely with an interior designer to deliver a complete refurbishment of this duplex penthouse apartment in Chelsea Harbour, overlooking the River Thames. Despite the apartment block only being 15 years old, a great deal of remedial work was required within the property. This was necessary to ensure that all the fixtures and fittings would be able to be properly installed in order to achieve the desired high-end finish.

Turret Grove - extension, refurbishment & loft conversion

  • 07 May 2020

We were instructed as the main contractor after the client was badly let down by a full design and build outfit – no names mentioned! We managed to save the client additional design fees by amending the original designs which in some sections were fundamentally not fit for purpose. The project involved a double addition loft and rear ground floor extension, new family bathroom and full refurbishment along with part rewire and new heating system. Along with all internal works and finishes we covered the landscaping of the rear and front gardens and managed to save the client money by rolling this into the full scope of the project.

Turret Grove 2 - refurbishment & extension

  • 07 May 2020

This project involved a small rear ground floor extension and complete kitchen refurbishment. The client instructed us as they were the neighbours to 34 Turret and were very happy with our professional approach and finish. Note the client was an interior designer and so had a very accurate eye for detail. Like with the neighbours we landscaped both the front and rear gardens.

Thirsk Road

  • 18 Nov 2019

As with a lot of our projects, this client included, they are very busy professional people and require the main contractor to project manage from concept through to finishes – on this occasion the architect was de-instructed and we revised the latest designs to then follow on with a complete refurbishment including new double glazed sash timber windows, wood flooring, bathrooms and bespoke kitchen – again we provided the client with numerous samples before final decisions were made and then installed.

Hackney Road - refurbishment

  • 18 Nov 2019

With this project, we were approached by an exciting up and coming interior design company we have worked closely with in the past. The property hadn’t been touched since it was built some 30 years ago and involved a complete rip out, some structural alterations, complete rewiring, new heating and hot water system and all fixtures and fittings throughout. The clients were after a cool contemporary “New York” look, which they have adopted in their other properties around the world. They wanted something similar for their London pad to feel at home whenever they are visiting the capital.

Mill Hill

We were instructed for a full interior design and build by our client. This included a complete strip out of the existing shop and front facade to allow a full high spec refurbishment to meet our clients demands to meet the traditional look of an old school barbers shop but with a modern twist.

Greenwich - new build

  • 18 Nov 2019

This project started out as a refurbishment and extension, but when the strip out revealed numerous problems with the existing structures, it turned into a ground-up build. The contract included contractor's designed portion, meaning that while the architect provided the concept and overall drawings it was left to us in conjunction with the project manager to come up with innovative design solutions to many of the technical aspects of construction. This included articulating metal, wood, glass and brick materials into a seamless, stylish whole and producing the resulting stunning, avant-garde home inside a traditional, Victorian, industrial shell.

Hillingdon Road - extension, refurbishment & loft conversion

  • 18 Nov 2019

We were instructed on this project for a full design and build, “stripped back to brickwork” project. We removed the entire roof allowing us to add a large en-suite master bedroom and most of the ground floor walls for a side and rear extension. We added 60m2 to the current house and now all the rooms are a much more comfortable size. A full rewire, re-plumb with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor has brought this 1930s semi up to the standards of modern day living.

Yukon Road

  • 18 Nov 2019

Our client on this project was again badly let down by the previous builder, who left her in an uninhabitable shell of a home with no heating. We were instructed to demolish all existing work by the previous builder and start from scratch to create the clients dream home she had dreamed of for many years. This also involved a very complicated removal of a concrete floor between this property and the flat above due to the previous bad workmanship which also let to the renovation of the flat above. Our clients dream finally came true once we had finished our work and they can now live happily ever after.

First Avenue - extension & refurbishment

  • 18 Nov 2019

Our client was having trouble finding a reliable builder who would take on some complex underpinning and steel work for a relatively small extension, so we were more than happy to step in. With a new addition to their family during the process, the extra space the new side return and rear extensions added to the property have added much more space to their ground floor.
