WE SPECIALISE IN DEVELOPING VALUE FROM YOUR ROOFTOP BY CREATING NEW HOMES
Air Space Development across London
Imperial Penthouse Ltd have been successfully developing London airspace for the past ten years. ‘Airspace’ or ‘rooftop’ developments, as they are more commonly known, are recognised as a pioneering innovative way to create new residential homes across the capital by utilising space that would otherwise remain dormant. Expanding a building by adding penthouses to the top floor can deliver benefits for all residents within the building and future-proof the value of a building for freeholder and all leaseholders alike.
EVALUATING YOU NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS
Independent research suggests that there is the potential to create more than 170,000 new homes across the capital utilising unlocked airspace above public, retail, residential and commercial buildings. Imperial Penthouse Ltd are experts in evaluating airspace potential for all building types. We will carry out a detailed site appraisal including the immediate local area circumstance and constraints and the fabric and layout of the building, to determine whether the scheme is practical, will meet modern health & safety requirements and will deliver the expectations of the Landlord and leaseholders of the building.
RINGFENCING THE WORK
Following a full evaluation report, Imperial Penthouse Ltd will work with the landlord to ringfence the development project, the design, footprint, density and full extent of the works to be carried out. As part of this process we produce a full cost plan breakdown summarising all work stages and a programme of the works that will form the basis of a working contract for all parties to agree prior to works.
REDUCED NOISE AND DISRUPTION
We deploy cutting edge technology and wherever possible, we manufacture and build off-site and deliver structural components readymade to avoid unnecessary disruption and multiple site deliveries. Through careful management and control we are able to significantly reduce noise, dust and disruption to local residence throughout the refurbishment process.
AN ENVIABLE TRACK RECORD
We are market leaders in rooftop development, as such we have an impressive number of live projects and ongoing enquiries as well as experienced teams on stand-by to assist with your enquiry or carry out a site assessment of your building and your requirements. We will guide you through the process and assist you wherever necessary.
FLEXIBILITY IS KEY TO EVERY SCHEME
Imperial Penthouse Ltd have extensive expertise in a wide range of diverse construction methodology and building materials. This knowledge and experience provide us flexibility to overcome obstacles and deliver unique, bespoke solutions that maximise the potential of your building.
SUCCESS IN PARTNERSHIP
Imperial are able to release large capital sums to develop your building and refurbish the communal areas including the infrastructure, corridors, windows, lifts and façade – without any investment from the freeholder. Working in collaboration with a number of specialist consultants, Architects, engineers and interior designers we maximise the footprint of your building and create plans and proposals to achieve the best outcome for your building – whilst remaining within the confines of the Planning authority, Health and Safety and Building Control.
DIVERSITY ACROSS ALL PROJECTS
The building styles and types that we are able to convert and include an additional penthouse floor are very diverse. Consequently, each project we undertake, requires that we adapt our approach and ideas to create a unique solution every time.
RECENT PROJECTS
BUILDING IN PARTNERSHIP
We have an impressive track record achieving planning permission to refurbish and improve entire buildings, transforming the quality of life of residents whilst increasing the value of the building for both the freeholder and all leaseholders. Once completed the upgraded buildings become desirable residential locations in which to live.
Developing the airspace of a building is generally agreed in conjunction with refurbishment works to upgrading the communal areas and to improve amenities such as lifts, cycle storage and fire escapes; changes that benefit all residents and are necessary to bring the building in line with modern Health & Safety design standards and regulations.
