Testimonial:
“We have worked with 4 S Architecture to add value to a number of challenging heritage properties, including the Grade II listed buildings at 100 Pall Mall, 10 Grosvenor Place, and 1-17 Ulster Terrace, as well as the mews property 40 Headfort Place.
With their knowledge of historic buildings, and their commitment to high-quality design, 4 S Architecture developed innovative design solutions that were granted listed building consent. 4 S Architecture are a reliable practice with a collaborative attitude, working seamlessly with us and letting agents to take onboard market-led design requirements throughout the process. Their ability to respond quickly on site to unexpected conditions also ensures that opportunities to add value are taken advantage of, and the project progresses smoothly through construction to a successful end product.”
