Nearing Completion at Ovington Square

 

We are approaching completion of one of our latest projects at Ovington Square, with LTS Refurbishment Ltd.

It is a Grade II Listed building, taking this into consideration, a sensitive internal fit out was carried out with a new rear extension. The internal fit out consists of beautiful built-in joinery and luxurious bathroom fittings plus a new passenger lift. These were a few of the features added to this refurbishment to create an elegant family home.

Basement and Renovation of a Townhouse in Kensington

We are pleased to achieve consent from London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea for the works of our townhouse project in Kensington.

Having worked closely with the client, we were able to submit an application that sought to make a more effective use of their family dwelling by providing additional space on the basement level, along with a rear extension and increase the garden space for the family.

The new rear extension will be constructed in brickwork to match the existing closet wings. New crittall doors will be fitted to the new extension and painted black. The crittall doors will be designed with horizontal bars to match the existing conservatory glazing design.

Montague Street

23-24 Montague St is a Grade II Listed property and lies within the Bloomsbury Conservation area. The buildings form part of a terrace of 18 houses c1803-6 on the east side of Montague Street. The terrace on the west side is a continuation of one facing Russell Square, with several buildings converted to office use for the British Museum. On the east side, properties in the past were converted to create sizeable hotels, which remain a predominant use around Russell Square.

We are working with the Bedford Estates to convert the property from an existing hostel to residential use. The work will create two no. Maisonette's over the lower/raised ground floors and the 2nd/3rd floors, plus one no. Self-contained flat on the 1st floor.  The project is steaming ahead and we are excited to see it all come together.
