Fit-Out for Former London Manor Home Focuses on Sustainability

General contractor Gilbert-Ash has been appointed to fit out a former London manor home, transforming it into a modern Cat A workspace. Situated in the heart of Richmond, England, Kew Studios is a building steeped in history and rich in character, which will be completely transformed into stylish office space with a strong focus on sustainability.

The £10-million project includes the refurbishment of the building to include structural works to create a staircase, lift core and mezzanine plant platform. There will also be alterations to external openings, building repairs and replacement of MEP services to reconfigure the building for subdivision and fit-out.

Construction on the Kew Works building includes roof and front elevation with front and rear extensions, new roof including a green roof, insertion of mezzanines, external and internal refurbishment including fit-out to shell and core.

The project, which will be carried out in three phases, also includes external hard and soft landscaping.

Just a short distance to the River Thames and Chiswick Bridge, Kew Studios is also only a short walk to the iconic Kew Gardens, making the new office space an excellent choice for companies working in the capital.
