Overview
The sensitive restoration, refurbishment and extension of the iconic Grade II listed Arding & Hobbs department store in Clapham Junction.
The building, originally constructed in 1910, was carefully restored creating retail and office spaces internally, with a new rooftop pavilion and terrace to give this historic and much-loved building a new lease of life.
The project’s location opposite Europe’s busiest railway station, alongside a main traffic route and surrounded by residential properties meant that careful consideration was paid to ensuring the smooth running of the site. The works were undertaken whilst part of the building remained occupied.
