Project overview
Cropthorne Court in Maida Vale, London, was originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and constructed in 1928. Scott was responsible for many pieces of British architecture from the late 19th Century to the mid-20th century. He was recognised as the designer of Battersea Power Station, Waterloo Bridge, the Chamber of the House of Commons, the iconic British red telephone box and much more. As such, it was vital that work carried out to the structure be precise and fitting for the project.
Cropthorne’s restoration included 266 of the ornate faience surrounding the entrance of the building. New units include Hathern Terra Cotta plain window heads, ashlar quoins and fluted balustrades, all of which were created in-house by our team of highly skilled craftspeople. As Cropthorne Court is a grade two listed building, conservation officers were on hand to the project to ensure the building’s stature was upheld while Hart Baskerville oversaw the project.
