Great Sutton Street
The Challenge A key challenge for the Client was to create a creative hub to attract talented professionals back into the studio post-pandemic. The office space therefore needed to reflect the culture and ethos of the client and enable their team to come together and collaborate. Jackson Coles acted as advisor from the outset and […]
South Molton Street
The Challenge The project comprises 14 buildings, all built between the 1820s and the 1880s, with 10 of these being Grade II/II* listed. The planning and Listed Building Consent workstream has been complex, with additional challenges emanating from the quantity and scope of site and structural discoveries; not unexpected given the age of the buildings […]
15 Mansfield Street
The Challenge There were a number of structural discoveries on site during the early part of the scheme that contributed to cost and programme challenges, and therefore the design had to be adapted in collaboration with the whole team. Our cost consultants worked very hard to represent the client’s best interests throughout this process to […]
BAFTA
The Challenge Much of the initial work involved ‘unpicking’ the MEP and structural alterations which had been made over the 130 year life of the building, with extensive opening up works allowing us to understand and control risk. The enabling works were technically challenging, with a complex scaffolding system put in place whilst the upper […]
Hertfordshire House
The Challenge The property has Grade II listed status and is set within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Our understanding of the nature of listed buildings and the challenges faced in refurbishing and adapting them meant we were able to identify risks in advance and subsequently set prudent allowances in the budget and […]
The Gilbert & One Lackington
The Challenge The property is on a constrained site, in a conservation area and is locally listed. Due to planning constraints and protected views, there were strict restrictions on any proposed height increases. The new extensions and increased massing were sensitively designed to respect this, securing the necessary permissions whilst delivering the NIA uplift required […]
Newport Street Gallery
The Challenge The construction work involved retaining 3 Listed Buildings, the demolition and rebuilding of 2 buildings, and the construction of a basement across the entire site. The ground and upper floors within the 5 buildings were connected to create a total of 6 galleries, all of which can be used flexibly in many combinations […]
White Eagle Lodge
The Challenge The project, whilst relatively small, was highly complex, particularly the temple itself. This was because of the nature and function of the building and the corresponding physical and geomantic factors we needed to consider during design development, through procurement and into constructing its complicated form. The precast concrete arch geometry was one of […]
150 Borough High Street
The Challenge We provided cost consultancy advice including early options appraisals for both refurbishment and demolition/new build. The final design included roof and rear extensions that greatly increased usable floor area, with a relocated stair core improving the building flow and providing the required opportunities for the division of office floors. Once works commenced on […]
The Wolves Lane Centre
“The project is a living example of how bio-regional materials can be applied to an urban site. The project brings much needed infrastructure to the Wolves Lane Centre supporting it to build resilient communities and ecosystems” Paloma Gormley Director of Material Cultures
Victoria Road
Grosvenor Square Gardens
The Challenge The whole site is covered by root protection zones and this informs every element of the project and programme. Traditional construction techniques are not permitted; excavations can only take place using an air spade and heavy plant has to be avoided. The two new structures – the education centre and gardeners’ hut/WC’s – […]
The Vineyard
Michael Faraday House
The Challenge The project provided a number of challenges including designing the works so that they could be undertaken in an occupied space, integrating new technology and services into the existing building structure and fabric and completing works concurrently with the construction of a new deck car park on land adjacent to the main building. […]
Dartmouth Park House
The Challenge The impacts of COVID and the availability of labour were the key challenges for this project. Our support to the Client therefore extended to re-setting and re-negotiating a second contract in order for the works to be completed. We also supported them with VAT matters. The Outcome Our proactive advice in difficult circumstances […]
