A SUPER-PRIME FAMILY HOME, IN THE HEART OF NORTH LONDON
Knowles is proud to announce the commencement of a new super-prime residence in the heart of London.
Our scope of works includes the initial demolition of the existing property, followed by the excavation of an 8000 sq/ft double-depth basement and the re-build of a 7000 s q /ft aesthetically sensitive and original style superstructure.
Included in Knowles’ package of works is the complete internal fit-out which includes high-specification and luxury finishes. Works commenced in August 2021, and are due for completion in Q4 2023.
The project is designed so that the basement covers almost the entire footprint of the site, including the site entrance from main street. Therefore, the inclusion of a top-down slab was required, in order to provide a loading /unloading area and access to site. This was followed by an excavation below the loading area which was 2 levels down (approximately 11m deep) and this was delivered using temporary propping to contiguous piles wall. Our experienced site team followed the safe system of work, while managing the excavation process by using the three different sized 360 excavators, from the lowest level to mid-level’’
