The 26,000m3 excavation and formation of the building’s basement levels was undertaken simultaneously with construction of the 10-storey superstructure.
The engineering clay which makes up two thirds of the 26,000m3 of excavated material was reused.
Our team worked to ensure all parties understood and met the client’s exacting quality requirements for the building’s opulent interior finishes. Mock-ups were used to benchmark standards and, where appropriate, stringent quality checks were established to ensure materials met those standards prior to dispatch.
The Bulgari Hotel and Residences won the Architecture of the Year Award in the New Build Hotel category at the European Hotel Design Awards.
The judges described the Bulgari as “a masterpiece of intelligent architecture, exquisitely realised with exceptional attention to detail, giving London a gem of a new hotel”.
