The project involved the renovation, structural alteration and extension of an existing building situated at 58-60 Redchurch Street, Shoreditch, London E2

The works included the addition of new partial basement, the addition of third floor and partial fourth floor using light weight construction techniques. Retention of existing ground floor retail spaces with associated use within the new basement. Allowance was also made for Allpress Espresso to retain possession of part of the property throughout the build period. The upper floors provide 16 hotel rooms for boutique hotel, Soho House.

Significant structural alterations included reconfiguration of the staircore and the addition of a new lift, removal and lowering of the ground floor slab including temporary propping, demolition of a rear extension and the construction of a new infill. The fenestration and façade infill panels were also replaced.

A double boarded scaffold gantry was erected at first floor level spanning across the Club Row pavement. An access scaffold was erected off of the gantry and a goods hoist located on the gantry. Temporary steelwork was erected at roof level to support the existing roof structure where it abuts the Club Row party wall. Temporary propping was installed to eliminate the risk of any movement to the Club Row party wall A significant driver behind this complex project was the desire to achieve occupation as early as possible to commence trading in the Autumn to capture Christmas trading as both retail units had been pre-let.
