The technology of construction advances relentlessly, and requirements that constitute a real challenge in their day may become commonplace as new solutions make it to market.
This small flat in the heart of Chelsea was an early project for Buildburo, involving the removal of walls and insertion of steels in order to create a completely opened up lower ground floor. Not an overly complex project, in retrospect, but one which we are pleased to look back at, well over a decade later, and see has stood the test of time well.
From a construction point of view, the transparent staircase (easier to achieve now than then due to developments in technology) presented a number of challenges both to our architect partners, and to us as builders. Pleasingly, a reliance on fundamental principles and a thorough understanding of the properties and capabilities of the materials available enabled us to achieve a highly impressive and practicable outcome.
