    How we delivered

    The heritage listing set the constraints. Existing walls were sealed and restored in place. The heavily bowed heritage floors were kept, so every joinery height was made adjustable with custom doors and floor levelling. The fragile float glass to the external faces was protected and re-jointed. With no cranage to a third floor, materials went up by hand, and the programme was planned around it.
