HOXTON SQUARE

We completely stripped the space, taking it back to the shell of the building. Apart from enabling us to install new services, this also meant we uncovered a lot of original features which we were able to incorporate in the final build. For example, some heavy double doors in the living area, with an 'arm' from a furniture winch acting as the handle.

A hidden area at the rear of the flat, turned out to be an old lift shaft. We turned this into a walk-in wardrobe, using the original lift doors and some salvaged pub door handles.

Space for storage on site was virtually non-existent. This isn't unusual for projects in city locations; it just means we add another layer when planning the logistics.

We were delighted to work on this remarkable project, and with such inspirational people. No wonder it continues to attract media attention, including its own chapter in Best Warehouse Flats

"Having worked with Galower Build before, I wasn't surprised at the high quality of advice, planning and workmanship I received from them. I was also reminded of their great enthusiasm. I need only say something like "I want a bench seat toilet..." and they'd simply respond with "Yes, let's do it!". I guess it helped that everyone who worked on the project just want to live there; they felt it was so cool."
