9 King Street

Heritage
14-15 King Street | Projects | Forcia

Large-scale refurbishment, structural alterations and basement extension to a five-storey Grade II listed building in the cosmopolitan Covent Garden.

Forcia delivered a cut and carve scheme for Capital and Counties, converting existing office space above a retail unit into two apartments and one duplex.

The Solution

We adhered to noise restrictions and, due to limited access of a site with high footfall, adopted a just-in-time materials delivery model. Work undertaken included underpinning, lowering the existing basement level, temporary works, demolition of the existing internal structure and new steel frame.

The Challenge

Forcia’s team was faced with conducting all work whilst the below retail unit remained live, entailing the total strip out of all floors, re-roofing, reconfiguration of part of the staircase and the fit-out of apartments, including mechanical and electrical services.

The Impact

We sustainably upgraded the building whilst maintaining its period features and meeting strict planning regulations, in one of most famous areas of London. The project included several CDP elements such as new Schuco roof lights systems and architectural metalwork.
