Internal Conversion / New Build
25
In the heart of bustling Earls Court, amidst the charming streets and iconic buildings, right above The Smoking Jacket Tobbaco Shop, stood a modest structure with a quiet presence. Originally comprising 13 rooms, its worn exterior hinted at the stories held within its walls. Some rooms boasted en-suite facilities, while others shared communal washing spaces, a testament to its varied history and the lives it had sheltered.
Then came the internal conversion and the remodelling work. Evoke Design & Build, a beacon of innovation in construction, took on the challenge of reimagining this building. With meticulous planning and a vision for modern living, they set out to breathe new life into its tired frame. The result? A remarkable metamorphosis that doubled its capacity to 25 rooms, each now adorned with luxurious en-suite bathrooms and equipped with mini kitchenettes for added convenience.
The journey began with structural work – a delicate dance of digging up and resetting the basement, crafting a new drainage layout, and crowning it all with a sturdy new roof. Inside, the building was reborn with a host of modern amenities. A state-of-the-art heating and hot water system ensured comfort for all, while individual heating controls in each room offered personalised warmth.
The interiors received a makeover too, with a sleek tiled entrance welcoming residents and plush carpeting underfoot adding a touch of luxury. New services were installed, from water and electricity to gas, ensuring seamless functionality. Acoustic walls and ceilings provided tranquilly, while fire-rated doors and natural ventilation systems prioritised safety and well-being.
From the sleek studio flats to the cosy one-bedrooms and spacious two-bed units, every living space was thoughtfully crafted to meet diverse needs. Communal areas were designed for socialising, with fully fitted kitchens inviting residents to come together over shared meals. And with a sophisticated fire alarm system and smoke detection in each flat, peace of mind came as standard.
As the project neared completion, the building stood revamped – a beacon of contemporary living in the heart of Earls Court in West London. With its sleek facade and modern amenities, it epitomised the ethos of Evoke Design & Build: a commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainable construction solutions. And as residents moved in, eager to make these newly renovated spaces their own, the building’s next chapter began.
