CBRE appointed Hatmet to carry out the shell and core and modifications to the Sun Street Terraces project.
The project, undertaken under a JCT Major Projects Construction Contract, required Hatmet to provide for high levels of acoustic and structural adaptions that was required to achieve modern building constraints.
The project formed part of the One Crown Place project for CBRE which includes the construction of two residential tower blocks.
The project consisted of 6 Georgian terrace buildings which required to be adapted into a modern 50 bed hotel in the centre of the City of London.
Located on Sun Street, just north of Liverpool Street Station, the building was originally constructed by George Dance ‘The Younger’ who was the original architect of the buildings – which is why these historic buildings were retained by the Client and required attention not just to detail, but also to modernise and the interaction of Georgian traditional building methods – which did produce challenges on the project.
The project required Hatmet to undertake the works in a sympathetic manner and requirement due to the conservation requirements on the planning conditions for the building and the location.
The elegant terraces which required an enormous amount of structural adaptions to the roof and internal areas and included floor and wall supports.
