This high-end luxury refurbishment was completed in Fulham

As a single chapter in the story of London’s affinity for books, this piece of 19th century history began with Sir William Nicoll. He was the founder of the British Weekly newspaper, and his own personal comfort was the upstairs library. Nicoll’s influence as a contemporary lived on through the bespoke custom furniture and finishes of this refurbishment.

We provided our overseas client with reassuring honesty as we carefully navigated the complex nature of a dated and perishing interior. It was an amalgamation of two flats and a complete back to bricks renovation that saw the first-floor of ‘Bay Tree Lodge’ converted into one high-end luxury apartment.

First-floor ‘Bay Tree Lodge’ refurbishment included:

• High-end decorating with a mixture of Little Green, Farrow and Ball paints.
• Bespoke high-end furniture and  kitchen design and manufacturing.
• New electrical and plumbing services adapted to modern requirements.
• Extensive soundproofing to reduce the effects of noise pollution.
• Partition walls throughout to accommodate the new layout, new ceilings, plastering, period cornicing, and leveling to all floors and ceilings.
• All new hardwood double-glazed windows, council approved and matched to the existing building
• Heat PIR insulation applied to all walls.

A word from our Clients:

The project involved converting two very dilapidated flats, on different levels, into one high end fully reconfigured/renovated flat. The work was complex, not least because it is a Georgian building with difficult access.
Working with a contractor for the first time is always a learning curve on both sides. We were pleased to find that Mariusz’s approach is very much in the spirit of collaboration. Our attention to detail does not make for an easy ride for a builder, Mariusz was patient and understanding about this. However, it’s the fact that he cares enormously about whether the client is happy, and his determination to deliver quality that makes him stand out.
