Hackney, London

Location: Horton Road E8
Scope: Loft conversion and first-floor refurbishment
Architect: Jochen Driessle @ Wilton Studio
Role: Principal Contractor

The project involved a loft conversion to create a new master bedroom with en-suite, alongside the refurbishment of the first floor to improve functionality and continuity throughout the home.
The brief focused on maximising space and natural light while introducing bespoke architectural elements that would integrate seamlessly with the existing building.

Oaklex managed the full construction process, coordinating structural works, bespoke fabrications and internal refurbishment within an occupied residential property.

The scope included:

  • Structural works associated with the loft conversion

  • Construction of a zinc-clad dormer

  • Formation of new internal connections between levels

  • Supply & installation of a bespoke, custom-designed steel staircase

  • First-floor refurbishment and internal upgrades

  • Coordination of trades and quality control throughout the build

Close collaboration with the architect was essential to ensure that the new interventions aligned with the overall design intent and were delivered to a high standard.

The completed works have delivered a well-resolved vertical extension, introducing a generous master suite and strengthening the connection between levels through carefully considered bespoke elements.
