This is the excavation and conversion of an\u00a0existing basement storage area\u00a0below a Victorian terraced house in Hackney, East London. The basement was excavated to achieve\u00a0sufficient head room\u00a0and new structure installed to the support the house above. A\u00a0drained cavity membrane\u00a0and pump system was used to ensure the basement was fully\u00a0waterproof.\u00a0A new front lightwell\u00a0and rear window provide a\u00a0good level of daylighting and views out augmented with uplighters washing the walls and ceiling.\u00a0A cement based wearing screed with underfloor heating was used for the floor finish. The studio was fitted out with bespoke built-in perimeter desking, storage wall and\u00a0kitchenette. Completed Jan 2013.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

The Twin Group appointed Hardcastle Architects to design and oversee their\u00a0New HQ and language school, and to\u00a0relocate its London head office and school from its current location in Lewisham, to a brand new building in Greenwich Square, London SE10.\u00a0Having been based in Lewisham for 15 years, the move is a huge step for Twin as a business and language school. It will mean that they can increase the number of students that they receive each year, and will be able to offer their students modern facilities in a new school close to Central London. The new office and school is […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

Hardcastle Architects became involved in this project a number of years ago when the Truman Brewery was mainly unused and before the majority of the re-development was carried out as seen today. The original cafe founders approached us to set up the cafe putting an initial design and layout together and arranging the installation of the basic services, facilities and finishes. The cafe has gone through a number of changes since and continues to enjoy success.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

Sheppard Robson were the architects for this building. Matthew Hardcastle was a Project Architect on this scheme whilst working for the practice.

Beyond this the building is in the perfect location to advertise to the masses passing by either on Queen Victoria street or the millennium bridge link between St Paul\u2019s and the Tate Modern. The lower three floors comprise Public Cafe, exhibition space, board rooms, meeting rooms, executive offices, and chapel. The public […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>
