A new high-end 20-unit residential, commercial and cultural development on Kentish Town Road. The historic facade has been retained to maintain the original character of the building.

The site is heavily constrained on all sides by existing Victorian buildings, busy public highways, and the northern line tunnel beneath. The team fully embraced 3D modelling and coordination to ensure successful delivery.

To maximise the development potential, a new basement was constructed to house a state-of-the-art cinema with a 12m transfer structure installed above. To eliminate the requirement for deep structural sections, we utilised ‘super-elevation’ of the steelwork; purposefully building the structure too tall and allowing the building to ‘shrink’ to the correct height under its own weight as the construction completes.
