Stace delivered a programme of works revolving around the Ground Floor extension and Basement and Ground Floor remodelling and refurbishment works within an occupied building. This created a new reception, café/ dining space, shared meeting rooms, collaborative working spaces, shower and wc cubicles, kitchen and other ancillary rooms.

Despite numerous trial pits and ground investigations pre-contract, Stace discovered historic basement vaults and unforeseen below ground services during excavations, which required urgent investigations and the subsequent redesign of the foundations/ scheme. This required close management of design and costs.

The end product has provided a great new facility that meets the clients on trend design for servicing their existing building whilst providing meeting rooms and a welcoming meeting point and central focus for the Leather Market site.

The works have been well received by existing building tenants and the café has seen a huge influx of custom since opening providing a much needed focal point for the historic site.
