This historic apartment refurbishment transformed a two-bedroom apartment in a mansion block dating from circa 1869, originally built for the British Special Operations Executive. The project delivered modern comfort while respecting the property’s heritage.

Located in a mainly residential area with narrow streets, the team carefully planned all works. They adhered strictly to noise and vibration controls to minimise disruption to neighbours and comply with Westminster City Council regulations.

The team began with a complete strip-out, which allowed them to assess the apartment and plan improvements. They carried out minor structural alterations to improve space use and functionality. In addition, they installed upgraded sound insulation and waterproofing. New flooring finishes were laid, and walls were repaired and redecorated to a high standard.

The existing doors and windows were refurbished and re-glazed, preserving the character of the historic building. Moreover, modern electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and data systems were installed throughout, supporting a contemporary lifestyle.

High-quality fixtures, bespoke joinery, sanitaryware, and ironmongery were fitted in all rooms. The team completed comprehensive internal decoration and selective external redecoration to enhance the property’s overall appearance.

At the same time, the refurbishment focused on practicality, comfort, and aesthetics. Each detail contributed to a home that functions efficiently while remaining visually appealing. Consequently, the apartment now meets modern standards without compromising its historic charm.

Through careful planning, expert craftsmanship, and attention to detail, this historic apartment refurbishment balances heritage preservation with modern living. The project successfully upgraded the property, providing a comfortable, stylish, and sustainable home for its occupants.
