heritage restoration

A 21st century workplace Washington H. Soul Pattinson – Heritage Restoration

The Brief.

PCG’s brief was simple: the building’s interior and workplace, still laid out generally as per the original 19th century design, was to be brought into the 21st century whilst restoring and preserving all architectural design features identified as being of heritage importance.

The Strategy.

PCG’s scope included the erection of a steel supported glass structure over the courtyard; installation of a new passenger lift; upgrade of mechanical, electrical, data, hydraulic and fire services; removal of non-original fixtures and fittings and the restoration of the “Clerestory” roof, floor lights and all existing original building fabric.

The Result.

Washington H. Soul Pattinson & Co. was restored with some much-needed modern touches. PCG also designed and implemented a system of free standing “service sills” which ran around the perimeter of the building hiding all electrical, data, mechanical and associated water services.
