Mappin & Webb

York

Awarded this contract following a successful tender process with our long-standing client, GH have delivered the first installation of a brand new design concept for their luxury jewellery brand.

All new M&E and security services are concealed within the architectural detail where satin stainless steel trims complement the satin nickel finishes on the millwork. The folded anodised portal and brand surround frames are balanced with a reeded wallpaper finish to the walls above the dado. The radiuses on the wall and light troughs were achieved with prefabricated fibrous plaster work.

The site area is 8000sqft and the entire fit out was completed in 16 weeks.

Salvatore Ferragamo

Old Bond Street and
Sloane Street, London

GH undertook the complete refurbishment of two existing Salvatore Ferragamo stores on Old Bond Street and Sloane Street, to suit a new concept design.

Set within a Grade II listed building, the Old Bond Street store was remodelled to incorporate a new opening at First floor level, allowing a polished stainless steel and stone stair to be inserted between the three retail floors. A similar stair was installed in the Sloane Street store, linking the existing Ground and new First floor retail areas. In both stores the integration of fitted bespoke joinery and panelling was carefully coordinated with the client’s directly appointed millworker, to achieve the highest levels of finish and fine detailing. 

Both projects were phased to allow each store to continue trading throughout, with minimal disruption to customers. This created a number of challenges that were overcome through careful planning and execution, and by working closely with the store management teams and surrounding residential tenants throughout.

Victoria's Secret

New Bond Street, London

Victoria’s Secret appointed GH to fit out their 25,000 sq ft flagship store, with retail space over four floors and BOH facilities over two additional levels. We were responsible for the delivery of all elements of the project (with the exception of the millwork and audio/visual systems), including the design, development, fabrication and installation of an oval feature stair, supported by a structure cantilevered from the landings at each level.

We worked closely with the client, design team and direct contractors throughout to deliver the project on time over a seven month programme, coordinating the fit out to begin before the shell and core contractor had completed 50% of the building. We have continued to work with Victoria’s Secret since completing the main project, to deliver several further phases of works on the store.

Boghossian

Old Bond Street, London

GH was appointed to undertake the renovation of a Grade II listed building on Old Bond Street for Boghossian. This included the careful removal of all interior elements and the existing shopfront, followed by the fit out of the ground floor and basement. We also carried out a full dilapidation survey of the entire façade, four floors and roof.

The main challenge on this project was the integration of a sophisticated M&E package, including high-end security systems, in line with Grade II listed building conditions. We also incorporated substantial (but discrete) security measures within the structure of the new replica timber shopfront.

We manufactured and installed all of the store’s bespoke joinery, showcases, fixtures, and fittings, finishing the works to an extremely high standard, as required by the architect and client’s full team.
