Neven Square is a residential renovation project that showcases the transformation of a London home through structural work, interior refinement, and carefully finished contemporary spaces. The project highlights the journey from stripped-back construction stages to calm, elegant completed interiors.

01. OVERVIEW & BRIEF

Client brief

The owners sought a refined whole-home transformation that respected the architectural character of the property while introducing double-height contemporary volume, bespoke joinery, and upgraded building services throughout. From exposed structures to clean architectural finishes, the brief required meticulous craftsmanship and high-specification detailing across every room.

02. PROPERTY CHALLENGE

Property challenge

Coordinating substantial structural alterations—including steel beam installations, upper-level floor support, and floor level reconfigurations—while carefully preserving proportions and ensuring flawless junction detailing across high-specification marble, hardwood, and bespoke cabinetry.

03. ORAMA SCOPE

Scope & approach

We executed a staged construction and interior programme: initial strip-out and temporary propping, precision structural steel beam installation, complete mechanical and electrical renewal, followed by bespoke cabinetry, herringbone parquet flooring, marble masonry, and refined architectural decoration.

04. PLANNING & COORDINATION

Planning & design coordination

Building control approvals, structural engineering calculations for all altered load paths, party wall compliance, and detailed interior architectural coordination for integrated joinery and bespoke kitchen specifications.

EXECUTION STAGES

Construction stages

01. Strip-out & structural reveal

Opening up existing partitions, stripping dated services, and establishing accurate datum levels across all living zones.

02. Structural alterations & steelwork

Precision steel beam welding and structural installation to support open-plan duplex spans and altered load paths.

03. Mechanical & electrical first-fix

Complete rewiring, high-efficiency plumbing manifolds, underfloor heating preparation, and acoustic floor build-ups.

04. Joinery, stone & architectural finishing

Installation of bespoke cabinetry, herringbone parquet, marble wall finishes, luxury sanitaryware, and final architectural detailing.
