This apartment is located within a typical turn of the century building designed by Adshead & Ramsey, for the Duchy of Cornwall Estate. The clients wanted to refurb part of their apartment to make it more functional, as one of them has disabilities and also wanted more storage.

Electricity and plumbing.

As the new pipework and wiring had to meet the current building regulations, we took the opportunity to conceal all of them within the new partition walls, the existing brickwalls and the floors.

Openings.

Although this flat is located within a listed building, we have managed to get planning approval to open up the two small rooms (kitchen and dining) into one by making two openings. We have removed the back wall inside the fireplace and also decided to take down the part of the wall next to it, making the new kitchen more functional for the clients' easier access.
