A 7-storey grade II listed building located in the heart of Mayfair which required a full internal and external refurbishment. The client showed no hesitation in securing Minerva Building Restoration Limited as the Principal Contractor.
​
As with all refurbishment contracts involving listed buildings, close liaison with the local council/conservation officer was of paramount importance.
​
The purpose of the project was to provide high end commercial/office space for an existing client.

​
-
New MF ceilings and lighting schemes to all floors were incorporated.

-
A passenger lift was installed giving access to each floor.
-

-
Shower rooms provided in the lower grounds.
-
A full programme of decoration was implemented throughout the building.
​
Externally Minerva were instructed to provide a full height scaffolding to the front elevation which enabled all masonry and timber repairs to be carried out.
