The Solution
Forcia successfully delivered the desired results by erecting a single-storey mansard roof extension above the buildings. The main roof structural reconfiguration along the Marylebone High Street elevation also enabled the construction of two new penthouses at the rear of the building with private balconies.
The Challenge
Significant logistical challenges needed to be overcome when combining the three residential blocks, cut and carve and subsequently fit out 31 studio apartments. We also needed to ensure the row of luxury retail and various food and beverage outlets on the ground floor remained fully operational.

The Impact
Beautifully repurposing existing space to better meet the accommodation needs of today, while retaining the original look and feel of the buildings, residents can enjoy high-quality new accommodation, as well as a new courtyard for a sense of tranquillity in the midst of the West End.
