Erection of a single storey rear extension at lower ground floor level and use of the roof of the extension as a terrace at ground floor level.

The property, before works started, consisted of a lower ground external space that was overshadowed and damp for extensive periods of the year and was of necessity finished with Astroturf. The only other external space, at ground floor level, consisted mainly of walkways and a small space at the rear of the property. (Refer photographs below).

The proposals were for the creation of a new room at lower ground floor level plus a light well with access to the ground floor level where an extensive paved area was created over the new room. The light well was linked to the terrace with a bespoke stair and glass balustrading. The project also included the entire refurbishment of the lower ground floor.

Moxley Architects were appointed to prepare planning and conservation area applications, Stage 3 and 4 production drawings and Stage 5 contract management as well as principal designer duties.

Work has completed on the extension and internal refurbishment of The Royal Ocean Racing Club clubhouse in Cowes, Isle of Wight creating new bar, restaurant, office and WC facilities.

Internally the new copper and oak clad bar was built by local boat builder Clare Lallow to a Moxley Architects design. Oak flooring is by Havwoods and the floor and wall tiling in the showers and toilets by Domus. The Alavo mirror system by Dolphin installed in the toilets incorporate sensor taps, soap dispensers and hand dryers.

Externally the single storey extension is clad in a mix of TECU patinated copper panels by KME and Antro facing brickwork by Vandersanden. Two six metre wide aluminium framed sliding doors by IQ Glass maximise the sea views from the bar and restaurant. Outdoor eating and entertaining can take place overlooking the sea on the enlarged Portland Stone terrace by Albion Stone.

The clubhouse is now open and being used for a host of summer sailing events.

The conversion of an office building located in the Grosvenor Gardens Conservation Area for The Grosvenor Estate.
 

The site was redeveloped to provide 23 intermediate affordable housing units over three existing and one new floor with retail spaces at ground and basement.
 

The apartments were designed and constructed to be operable as efficiently as possible and the retail units were taken to shell & core including replacement shopfronts and stonework.

The total re-planning and refurbishment of a five storey house in a gated development in St John’s Wood.

Working closely with landscape and interior designers the house was completely reconfigured to provide all family members with their own floor level that included bedroom, bathroom and private study / recreation spaces.

The ground floor kitchen / dining area was provided with all new fittings and a bespoke fireplace. The adjacent rear garden and second floor terrace at the side of the property were all totally redesigned.

The property is in a Conservation Area and therefore approval from Westminster was required for new juliette balconies at first floor level leading from the main reception space.

The regeneration and conversion of a rather tired 1960s built office block into commercial and residential accommodation was completed by Legendre UK, under a D&B contract for BNP Paribas Real Estate.

The scheme originally designed by Squire & Partners for two floors of commercial space and fourteen floors of residential accommodation with basement parking and storage was taken to tender stage by A&Q. The successful tenderer Legendre, in winning their first UK contract, appointed Moxley Architects as the lead designer to make further changes to the approval via the client and Camden planners, produce the final working drawings and progress the project on site.

The original roof structure was removed and three additional floor levels added, as well as major remodelling of the reinforced concrete frame.

The development also includes an element of affordable housing incorporated in a stand alone building adjacent to the tower.

The Claremont Hotel was a fine Grade II* listed  mid 19th century building, in a prominent position on the seafront close to Eastbourne Pier, which was largely destroyed by fire in November 2019.

Moxley Architects were appointed by the owners, Daish Hotels, to seek planning and Listed Building Consent from Eastbourne Borough Council (EBC) for the demolition of the unsafe remains of the building.

Discussions with EBC regarding the restoration of the property are ongoing.

Moxley Architects obtained planning and listed building consent for the total refurbishment of the Audley Hotel in 2019. Works include new lifts, lowering the basement floor slab, forming new kitchens, bar and restaurants, reconstructing the top floors, adding air conditioning and restoring the spire and dormer gables which had been destroyed by bombing in WW2. This project is now on site with Moxley Architects as Lead consultant and Principal Designers. The client is the Grosvenor Estate.

The Jewish Blind and Disabled Charity (JBD), approached Moxley Architects to review an existing planning proposal that had received adverse comments from the local planning authority. The proposal was for an extension to their assisted living development at Cecil Rosen Court.  JBD selected Moxley Architects for their strong track record for dealing with listed buildings and conservation areas and to also advise on how the scheme could be developed further.

The original scheme was substantially revised following lengthy discussions with the client and planning officers and just four weeks after being commissioned, a new planning application was submitted for determination. The new scheme receive support from planning officers but also gained an additional 10% floor area to provide 19 assisted living apartments. The new building is an extension to the existing facility and is connected via a glazed link at ground level.

The construction team had the challenge of building the new facility whilst ensuring that the health and safety of the residents of the adjoining facility was not compromised. The new wing is now known as The Dyna and Fala Weinstock Wing.

Moxley Architects were commissioned by Stansted Mountfitchet Parish Council to develop a scheme for a new community hub, council offices and library building in Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex.  On the site of a former telephone exchange, the newly named ‘Mountfichet Exchange’ houses the library and includes meeting rooms and other facilities for Council and library staff.

Situated in the heart of Mayfair and for The Grosvenor Estate, 18-22 Weighhouse Street was a project to provide two new retail units and two luxury apartments.

The scheme involved the conversion and remodelling of the lower ground, ground and first floors of a 19th century building to create contemporary retail and residential spaces.
