Focus SB Ltd were pleased to be involved in the re-development of
a property at one of the most exclusive addresses in London
Archetech - Issue 20 [Page 14]
Wilton Crescent was drawn up as part of
the original plan for the development
of Belgravia in 1820. It was built in 1825
and the north side of the crescent, where
the property is located, was stone clad
between 1908 and 1912 reflecting the
growing prestige of the area.
Focus SB were involved in the design and
specification of all electrical accessories for
a property in Wilton Crescent, with Product
Consultant Gennifer Ling working closely
with John Coughlan of Electrotech the
Electrical Contractors for the development.
John Coughlan comments, “The reason
I have always preferred to use Focus
SB is the company’s facility to produce
non-standard accessory plates to any
specification or finish. We have continued
to use Focus SB as they offer similar
products to Forbes & Lomax at more
competitive prices.”
The re-development involved
refurbishment of the town house and
joining the mews house, at the rear, to the
main building, creating a stunning glass
atrium in the process. A pool and spa area
was created under ground and the whole
property was modernised to the highest
specification and attention to detail.
John continues, “On this particular project
at Wilton Crescent, Focus SB provided a
good brochure package and plate sample
pack followed up by samples issued to the
site.”
A range of bespoke plates and switches
were subsequently designed including
plates manufactured to match the unique
bronze bathroom fittings. These bespoke
plates were matched to a wide range of
standard plates from the Focus SB Horizon
Range.
John adds, “As a contractor I need to
know delivery times and Focus SB always
delivered on time as agreed, this is very
important to us when up against tight
deadlines.”
In the 19th and 20th century, Wilton
Crescent was home to many prominent
politicians, ambassadors and civil servants.
Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten
of Burma (1900–1979) lived at No. 2
Wilton Crescent. There are two diplomatic
buildings in Wilton Crescent: the Embassy
of Luxembourg and the High Commission
of Singapore, which is next door.
Focus SB will be exhibiting at 100% design,
23-26 September 2015, Olympia London,
stand E276.
