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 […]
33 – 35 Piccadilly
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 […]
66 Portland Place
Walpole Street
The Challenge 32 Walpole Street is a very constrained, tall-but-narrow mid-terraced property, and this caused the main challenges in terms of delivering a significant programme of refurbishment and remodelling works across the five floors. Restricted access and limited working space required careful planning of site logistics, including the sequencing of deliveries and works. Close proximity […]
Bath Place
The Challenge This was the client’s first foray into the London property market, so they were heavily reliant on the guidance and expert advice of our team. As an example, the project was initially planned to be completed with both the client and an existing office tenant in occupation. However, following an options appraisal which […]
The Hop Exchange
Big Penny Social
The Challenge The Client had ambitious targets for the opening date of the new space. We therefore had to work with the team to develop a project plan and procurement strategy that provided the optimum programme whilst also delivering the quality of finish required. The solution was to procure the works in phases, with separate […]
Grosvenor Square
The Challenge The whole site is covered by root protection zones, and this informed every element of the project and programme. Traditional construction techniques were not permitted; excavations could only take place using an air spade and heavy plant and traditional pipe-based irrigation had to be avoided. The two new structures – the education centre […]
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 […]
