The 375m² showroom, prominently situated at the corner of Conduit Street and Savile Row, extends over the basement and ground floors of the building.
The project covered the full retail and back-of-house fit-out of the showroom with high quality bespoke fixtures and fittings together with the installation of new external signage.
A particular challenge on this project was finding an appropriate location within the scheme design for air conditioning plant previously positioned on the roof of an adjacent building. Identifying an area at the rear of the building which, with some modification, could effectively house the plant, resolved this problem. We further commissioned an acoustic report to establish noise levels and demonstrate that the plant would not impact adversely on the surrounding environment. The report satisfied the planning authorities and permission for the potentially contentious air handling units was achieved for our client.
