Overview

A turnkey duplex penthouse overlooking Mount Street Gardens. High-density coordination involving Westminster crane road closures, crane lift of 4.5m bronze stair stringers, and a comprehensive white-glove site delivery.

01 / Protecting The Vision

The Design Intent

The atelier envisioned a tailored masculine sanctuary evoking classic 1930s European modernism with patinated brass, dark fluted timber, bookmatched Arabescato marble, and frameless flush architectural openings.

02 / Technical Reality

The Engineering Challenge

Crane access on Mount Street was restricted to a single 6-hour weekend window by Westminster City Council. Any error in structural sizing or weight calculation would have derailed the critical path schedule.

03 / White-Label Delivery

The Execution Approach

Our technical director conducted 3D laser point-cloud scanning prior to fabrication. The staircase was pre-assembled in the metal fabricator’s workshop to confirm tolerances within 1mm before road delivery and crane hoist.
