Ross and Monmouth Sea Cadets

Assisting the cadets with their relocation ... pre-fabricated units, the complications of avoiding potential flooding from the River Wye, negotiations with the Town Council and a very low budget!

Planning approval 2017.

Maquis, Hammersmith Grove, London, W6

Completed by Drury Browne back in 2001-2002 - but miraculously, I discover, still a bar, restaurant and deli today.

The owners have changed several times, the name is no longer 'Maquis' and the finishes inside are now different. However the basic infrastructure and layout, since its conversion from a row of derelict shops, appears to remain quite unchanged. Planning permissions, licences, building regulations, fit-out works, new shop fronts, a basement kitchen, new WCs below the pavement, ventilation and electrical installations, fit out of adjoining delicatessen.

An existing brick railway arch used since the 1940’s as a coffee roasting plant; proposed conversion to a retail coffee bar, by the same family-run, long-established, company. Unbuilt.
