Project details

The works involved a partial restoration of the existing building alongside a commercial fitout for a hotel reservation company, with the design required to be sympathetic to the building’s heritage character throughout. A careful assessment of building materials was undertaken at the outset to establish clearly what could and could not be altered — an essential foundation for any intervention in a structure of this age and significance.

Forge managed the project from start to finish: design team procurement, authority approvals, stakeholder consultation, contractor management through construction and obtaining the occupation certificate.
