Government House Refurbishment
Government House was built in the late 18th Century, and whilst it has undergone numerous additions and refurbishments throughout its history, the decor had inevitably become dated in recent years.
The Brief
Our brief was to drive an aggressive timeline and deliver a full modernisation programme whilst retaining the 17th Century integrity of the property.
The plan was agreed upon in late April 2019, with works starting in May to be completed by Friday, 2 August. Normally this type of project would take 5 months, but with efficient collaboration between CDS, specialist artisanal suppliers, restoration experts, and interior design company HVA Interiors, the refurbishment was delivered in 9 weeks.
The Sovereign’s Room and The Queen Charlotte Suite
Both of these prestigious rooms are located within Old College and date back to 1812 when the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst first started training Officer Cadets.
The Brief
The Sovereign’s Room is used to host the Sovereign or the Sovereign’s Representative during the Commissioning Parade. The room was tired and had recently been flooded and therefore was in desperate need of modernisation but had to retain the heritage associated with a Grade 2* Listed Building. This project was undertaken and delivered in 8 weeks during the period January–March 2019.
Flat 5, now named the Queen Charlotte Suite, was also in need of updating. The brief was to provide a high-specification flat to be used as an annex to Government House whilst also providing quality accommodation to the many visitors to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. The project was delivered in 6 weeks during the recess period in April 2019.
