Restoration joinery at the museum
Working on a heritage restoration project with the Natural History Museum (NHM) is one of our most prestigious projects to date. After an intensive tender process we won the contract to renovate their private members lounge – the Anning Room, which have been designed to meet the needs of the museums ever growing number of members.
Clients requirements
This project came in two phases, with the first phase comprising of the restoration of the existing original door arches and additional miscellaneous bespoke joinery items.
The second phase involved the renovation of the two story members lounge, including, bench seating, reception desk, integrated book shelf, radiator covers, eight internal doors, baby changing tray, skirting, two vanity units, two waiter station, kitchen hot/cold pass counter, fire place paneling, framed mirror, and two coffee points.
Collaboration
In total the project spanned 18 months, and involved heavy collaboration with a multitude of subcontractors, which occasionally presented challenges, which we were quickly able to overcome. You can find out more about the process in our recent article – a joiners guide to restoration at the Natural History Museum.
The team worked tirelessly to meet deadlines and present bespoke joinery solutions, to satisfy the needs of the client. The client was pleased with the results and we since priced additional work. We look forward to maintaining a relation with the museum.
