Project Walkthrough: St John’s Wood, Low Carbon Renovation

Posted on ZXCZXC by FJDigital

We are pleased to share a video walkthrough of the early stages of our latest St John’s Wood renovation, delivered in collaboration with Architecture for London. Click on the video to learn more about this fantastic project.

The walkthrough shows the substantial temporary works now in place. We’ve installed steels and supports to extend the ground floor and secure the structure. This careful preparation allows excavation of the new basement to begin safely and efficiently.

This renovation will transform the existing house with a full strip out, a lowered and extended basement, and a high end fit out. Every stage of the build is guided by a low carbon, high efficiency approach, ensuring the finished home will be both elegant and sustainable.

Although the project is still at an early stage, the walkthrough highlights the scale of the work involved and the precision required. It offers an inside look at how complex residential projects are carefully managed from the very start.

We will continue to share updates as the project develops, giving further insight into each stage of this St John’s Wood renovation.

Luxury Residential Transformation, Ealing

Posted on ZXCZXC by FJDigital

At Harris Calnan, we are currently delivering a full residential transformation of a private property on Carlton Road, Ealing, working closely with Beasley Dickson Architects and Foster Structures. This ambitious scheme brings together our expertise in complex construction with a strong design vision, creating a contemporary home finished to the highest specification.

The works include a complete strip-out of the existing house, the formation of a new basement beneath the original footprint, a rear extension, and a new roof structure with coverings. We will complete the property with high-end finished throughout, all designed with an emphasis on low-carbon, high-efficiency performance supported by a ground source heat pump.

On site, we are pleased to be collaborating with Malci Construction who are progressing the basement works, AGA Scaffolding who have delivered the elaborate temporary works, and Maralb Construction who have completed the roof strip ready for inspection. Recent site meetings with the wider project team have allowed us to review progress in detail and carefully coordinate the next stages of the build.

From light-filled new spaces to a bespoke basement designed for modern family life, the property will not only reflect architectural excellence but also provide a comfortable, sustainable and future-ready home for years to come.

This project is a prime example of how we bring together skilled craftsmanship, collaborative working, and sustainable design solutions. Once complete, this residential transformation will combine architectural elegance with modern energy-efficient performance, reflecting both the ambition of the client and the expertise of the team.

Restoring Tottenham’s Heritage: Grade II Listed Buildings Undergo Major Transformation

Posted on ZXCZXC by FJDigital

We’re proud to be delivering a significant heritage restoration project on Tottenham High Road, where we’re breathing new life into a trio of Grade II* listed buildings originally constructed in 1725.

Our team is carrying out a full renovation and refurbishment to restore the historic character of these buildings while bringing them up to modern standards.

Internally, we’ve lifted and reinstated original floorboards, upgraded fire barriers and services, and carefully restored historic lime plaster ceilings. Every step is being taken with sensitivity to the buildings’ heritage and original detailing.

Externally, we’ve formed a new basement using an underpin sequence and poured concrete slabs. This lower-ground space will support a new extension at ground floor level, which will eventually house a café and a gallery space, offering new life and purpose to these historic structures.

We’re currently awaiting the installation of bespoke architectural glazing and a zinc facade. Once these are in place, we’ll begin work on the ground floor extension, continuing the balance between restoration and modern design.

Watch a walkthrough of the site below:

This is a project that requires care, experience and collaboration at every stage and we’re excited to see it take shape. It’s already been a pleasure working alongside F3 Architects and Nathan Goss Conservation .

We’ll be posting regular updates as the build progresses and look forward to sharing more soon. To see what else we’ve been up to recently, please visit our projects page.
