1175 - Lyall Mews

Westminster

34 Lyall Mews in a mid-terrace house located within the Belgravia Conservation Area in Westminster. The refurbishment of the building includes the excavation of a new basement and the reconstruction of the internal structure within the existing building envelope.

Key features:

• Façade retention of the existing front elevation and complete remodelling of the internal structure.

• Top-down construction of the two storey basement.

• Complex phasing of the basement constitution works around an single storey existing basement across part of the site.

• Challenging party wall constraints with in-depth technical opposition and negotiation.

• We adopted preloading via hydraulic jacks to control settlement in the deep underpins.
