Old Admiralty Building
Willmott Dixon Interiors are transforming the world famous Old Admirality Building into a new home for The Department for Education.
Most recently occupied by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Old Admiralty Building has housed some of the most famous figures in history, including former Prime Minister Winston Churchill when he was First Lord of the Admiralty, and James Bond author – and former naval intelligence officer – Ian Fleming, whose renowned ‘Room 39’ was located inside the walls during World War II.
The project will see our team transform Old Admiralty into a modern working environment, including upgrading the building services to introduce new mechanical ventilation and environmental controls, plus future proofing space for government offices in the long-term.
St Martins Place
Willmott Dixon Interiors are delivering a high-end boutique hotel refurbishment at 7-8 St Martins Place in central London.
The scheme to create St Martins Place Hotel close to Trafalgar Square will see the company convert an existing five-storey office block into a 136-room hotel complete with a fifth floor restaurant as well as adding an additional floor for a new rooftop bar. The development for customer Best Effort Ventures will be further complemented with new retail in the basement and ground floor level, while the building will retain its existing Post Office.
Twickenham Stadium
Willmott Dixon Interiors were appointed by Rugby Football Unioin to complete the fit out of the east stand.
This will include upgrading the internal hospitality facilties of the new east stand.
The event is also supported by the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS), Considerate Contractors Scheme (CCS) and media partner Construction News.
