Progress on our Wimbledon project.

Behind the scenes, this is where the detail lives: a rear extension in stock brick with red brick dentil work replicated from elsewhere on the property, a chimney stack being widened to bring three original fireplaces back into use, and tile cladding restored and extended to wrap the full building.

Construction continues to advance at a strong pace across our Belgravia development, with significant progress made to both the structural framework and external envelope works.

The first and second floor structures are taking shape, with plywood decking laid to create the new floor platforms.

At ground floor level, new rear garden door openings have been successfully created, helping to enhance the connection between the internal living spaces and outdoor areas.

Externally, waterproofing and thermal performance works have progressed with the installation of membrane and insulation along the rear elevation. In tandem, construction has commenced on the new external brickwork wall running across the rear of the development, visibly transforming the site's appearance.

Masonry works continue to progress well, with blockwork construction advancing along the western party wall at first-floor level.

With structural, masonry and external envelope works all moving forward simultaneously, the Belgravia project is maintaining excellent momentum as the development continues to take shape.

Introducing our latest project: a Victorian apartment in Chelsea, currently undergoing a full reconfiguration.

Bathrooms repositioned. The floor lifted throughout to facilitate new services. A new ensuite, a dressing room and a reworked primary bedroom taking shape.

Working alongside Studio80six and MIAKI, the aim is to capture the building's heritage and bring it back to life, not lose it.

More to come as the project develops.

In Belgravia, one part of this project has meant retaining the historic front facade and suspending it at first-floor level, supported by a temporary steel structure, while the building behind it is demolished and rebuilt from the ground up.

New drainage, reinforced concrete slabs and a structural steel frame have gone in beneath and behind the suspended facade without disturbing it. Above that steel frame, a full timber superstructure has been built using prefabricated timber cassettes and Posi-Joists, with the six houses structurally tied together through the party walls using engineered steel brackets and reinforcement.

Steel, timber, concrete and masonry, all coordinated within a heritage shell that had to stay standing throughout.

In Chelsea, we've taken this property back to its facade and rebuilt almost everything behind it, including underpinning the adjoining walls to extend and deepen the basement without disturbing either neighbour.

The rebuild itself has been just as considered. An internal steel frame went in first, with a timber frame and single brick skin built around it once that structure was in place. Timber joists salvaged from the demolition were reused rather than replaced, alongside reclaimed bricks for the rear brickwork and low carbon cement throughout.

Now moving into joinery installation and second fix carpentry, with finishes underway.

Behind a retained facade in Chelsea, this house has been rebuilt in timber frame, with sustainability at the centre of every decision.

A facade retention scheme with a new basement and mansard extension, reusing reclaimed steelwork and timber throughout. An air source heat pump, solar panels, rainwater harvesting and natural insulation bring the finished home in line with a genuinely low-impact standard, without losing anything of the character the original facade gives it.

The result will be a family home built to last.

Where construction meets design.

The staircase was one of the most complex parts of this build, sweeping from basement to second floor and coordinated around a rear roofscape dormer that shaped the design at every stage. Seeing it finished, with light pouring through the stairwell, makes every bit of that coordination worth it.

Every skilled trade playing their part to bring this staircase to life. A true showcase of craftsmanship, precision and attention to detail.
