World Service Nottingham - Bar Restaurant Refurbishment

We've completed the refurbishment of World Service in Nottingham 13 years after our first fit out. Appointed in August 2011, a couple of months of design development and planning, selected a contractor December and then 10 days on site without a hitch in January. The oft repeated mantra of on time and on budget actually applies! Of course it helps to have the support of an excellent team.

Its the end of the academic year. We looked at Portland again in final year Diploma with a variety of student derived sites and programmes. Photos of the work here.

What's happening

We've been on site a fair bit of late, a few images of the constuction process - staircase to a house in North London above which is being extensively reconfigured..

A rather impressive T.C Hine Grade II* listed house in Nottingham we are currently refurbishing...

One of the bedrooms with a bespoke precast fire surround...

The framing for one of the master ensuite bathrooms.

Both projects are scheduled for completion in the next few weeks - a lot will happen in a short space of time!

Workplace design, our office refurbishment of TBG in May issue of On Office

We got "pretty seriously involved with laminated plywood" at our refurbishment of Kentish Town offices of TBG according to Elizabeth Chopin, editor of monthly workplace design magazine On Office.

The project's major achievement not only lies in stretching a tight budget, but also keeping our client, TBG London trading throughout the construction phases.

Good design with lots of money and time is easy, take away those factors and it gets more tricky.

A few pics of the South Bank I took recently, one of the few places where you can wander around public space inside and outside and take in exhibitions and performances with a great view of the Thames and the city - all for free! Interesting guide here

Happy New Year
