Historic city house – Cambridge
Many clients have a specific timeframe for projects – from start to finish. This large distinctive house required major refurbishment and redecoration works to an entire wing of the property, within a fixed time schedule. Instructed by an existing client, this collaborative re-model and refurbishment of space was undertaken by The Daniels Group in partnership with award-winning architects Freeland Rees Roberts.
Due to the intrusive nature of the work it meant that the property had to be unoccupied. The work was successfully completed within the project deadline.
