We are excited to announce that Mabel Construction has started construction work on the first phase of our Mandeville Road project.

The first phase will create a single storey rear extension that draws on the character, materiality and proportions of the existing 1920s semi-detached property. Combined with a reconfiguration of the existing kitchen and dining room, the project will provide a generous open plan kitchen, dining and living area to meet the needs of a growing family.

We are delighted to have been appointed to commence work on a new project in Herne Bay.

Western Esplanade is an exciting opportunity to maximise the potential of a beautiful home in a fantastic seafront location. The project aims to capture and celebrate the unique sea views while reconfiguring the internal layout to respond to our client’s needs.

We are delighted to share that our Blackfriars Street project has completed, and we are very pleased with the outcome.

Blackfriars Street is a grade II listed mid-19^th Century terraced house which occupies a prominent location within the Canterbury Conservation Area. We proposed a series of sensitive interventions, including bespoke timber double glazed windows, to preserve and enhance the historic building fabric. The ground floor layout has been carefully reconfigured, and the internal finishes upgraded throughout to create a series of light filled spaces that meet contemporary living requirements whilst retaining the property’s original character.

We are excited to announce that construction has commenced on our Blackfriars Street project.

The project will breathe new life into the grade II listed property through a series of sensitive interventions that preserve and restore the historic building fabric whilst modernising the property to meet contemporary living requirements. Working closely with Tower Building Services, the internal finishes will be upgraded throughout, and the ground floor carefully reconfigured to create a more contemporary open plan living area with improved connections to the rear garden and views of the Cathedral.

We are pleased to have started work for a repeat client on a new residential project in London.

Discovery Walk will convert an existing loft space to create an additional master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and walk-in-wardrobe. The ground floor will be reconfigured to create an improved entrance space and a generous open plan kitchen and living area. These subtle interventions, designed within permitted development rights, will combine to make a significant improvement to the generosity and layout of spaces within the existing property.
