A major refurbishment and extension was developed for Elliot House, to provide 31 high quality, luxury appointed apartments, whilst retaining the existing listed façade. Built on the eve of the 2nd World War to provide living accommodation for officers based at Scotland Yard, Elliot House is located in the fashionable Marylebone district of London.
Plant rooms and a new substation are to be constructed 4 metres below ground within the 2-level basement car park, with access to the car park by car-lift from Cato Street, the site of the 1820 Cato Street Conspiracy. Underfloor heating and domestic hot water to the apartments is to be provided from Combined Heat & Power (CHP) plant located in the basement plant room, lighting to communal areas powered from roof-mounted Photo-Voltaic panels.
