“A Heritage Restoration Masterpiece”

Our team undertook the intricate task of restoring the heritage plasterwork, ensuring every detail stayed true to the building’s original Edwardian spirit. From the grand dome ceiling to the cornices, arches, and ceiling mouldings, we meticulously repaired, restored, and revived the decorative plaster elements. Each detail was carefully handcrafted to reflect the elegance of the period, maintaining the authenticity that has defined this building for over a century.

The project posed unique challenges, especially in integrating traditional plastering techniques with the advanced technologies used in modern facilities such as the state-of-the-art 3Sphere Gym and various new retail spaces. The precision required to maintain both the aesthetic and structural integrity of the plaster ceiling designs exemplified the dedication and expertise of our team.
