The Grange
Saunders Partnership undertook the detailed design and construction detailing for the whole of this project, which comprised the refurbishment, alteration and extension of a former nurses home to provide 47 luxury apartments for Berkeley Homes, with a contract sum of £4 million.

Work commenced on site in January 1996 and was completed in March 1997, under a JCT Design and Build form of contract.

The project involved extensive stripping-out and reinstatement of the existing building fabric, the construction of a seven-storey rear extension and a two-storey mansard extension over half of the building footprint.  Apart from the necessary structural alterations and repairs, the building received a complete new roof, new doors and windows throughout, upgrading of sound proofing and fire-proofing provisions, new services and drainage installations, damp-proofing and timber-treatment and full restoration of its brick and stone facades.  Common areas and individual apartments were fitted-out to a very high standard, in accordance with Berkeley Homes’ requirements.
