Cadogan Gardens fitted by D R Services

D R Services provided its expertise and product range for the interior fit-out of 19 Cadogan Gardens in London.

When the building at 19 Cadogan Gardens in London required conversion into 28 luxury apartments, D R Services provided its expertise and product range for the interior fit-out.

The conversion is in the heart of London's Chelsea area and involved the redevelopment of a parade of shops, a former chapel, former fire station, car showroom and workshops, to provide 28 flats of shops and a basement car park.

Cadogan Gardens is a residential development of the highest quality, set around a landscaped courtyard.

The Paul Davis Partnership were the architects responsible for redesigning the £7.85 million development, which included a number of retail units on the ground floor.

The project involved the retention of facades to the three buildings plus bridging over a shallow tube tunnel.

The traditional appearance of the late nineteenth century Victorian building strongly contrasted with the contemporary approach to the planning and detailing of the interior space.

For the 22 apartments, D R Services supplied sliding door gear for the foyer and designed and manufactured shower enclosures, with bifold doors and side panels.

Some of the doors were 1180mm for easy entrance, with some doors on half glass panels with 180 degree fold back.

D R Services specialises in tailor-made frameless glass shower enclosures which are available with a complete range of clear polycarbonate seals, towels bars, handles and knobs.

The range has been designed for functionality whilst providing a high level of aesthetic appeal, qualities that the designers of the Cadogan Gardens apartments were seeking,.
