Our challenge was to construct a four-bedroom town house over three storeys including basement in a parcel of land abutting two Georgian properties within the Chelsea Conservation Area. It was like “doing heavy concrete work with the hand of a delicate artist”.

Basements come in all shapes and sizes. As Stockbridge works in desirable, high-value districts, we understand the paramount importance of avoiding any impacts on adjoining or neighbouring properties, as mistakes can be very costly.

Stockbridge Design & Build was commissioned by Swan Homes last year to deliver a shell-and-core solution for an exclusive residential and commercial development in leafy Fulham, south-west London.
