Kensington Close Hotel

The project consisted of additions and alterations to an existing building at Kensington Close Hotel, London. The existing building was a 7-story building with basement and ground floors. This previously housed 550 guest rooms. The proposed alterations included additional floor at level eight, new fire stairs and new lifts and minor demolitions to internal walls and re-configurations. In addition construction of 5 blocks was connected to the main structure to form additional new guest rooms. Part of the old basement is now used for a car park and the rest is the ancillary back of house storage used for the hotel. The construction engineering feats in this build involved this new five-block building to be raised from the first floor whilst columns from ground level. Construction of the new extension resulted in high-quality finishes as per the interior design specifications of 172 additional guest rooms, eventually forming 722 guest rooms in total.
