PROJECT DETAILS

A small project in a protected structure on Upper Leeson Street involved interventions to re-decorate a hall level apartment.  A section 5 Declaration of exemption from planning permission was successfully received by the owner in 2015.  Dathanna Architecture’s role involved the co-ordination and project management of a series of direct labour contractors to execute the project.

​

Works primarily involved the removal of a 20th century partition dividing the rear reception room of the ground floor.  The original window had previously been replaced with four no. casement windows, with a large central mullion, which the partition subdivided. 

​

The removal of the partition wall allowed for the return of the room to its original form.  The casement window was also removed.  Previously bricked up splayed reveals were re-formed, which allowed the installation of a new double hung sliding sash window & panelled shutters, with profiled details to match that of the window in the front reception room. 

​

Other works included localised strengthening to the existing floor joists, the reinstatement of a decorative centrepiece on the ceiling, and reinstatement of missing sections of the decorative cornice.
