NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury refurbishment in Knightsbridge SW1X, under one contract. A full renovation runs £250 to £650 a sq ft, construction only. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
We have refurbished three homes in Knightsbridge. Two townhouses, and one lateral apartment.
One townhouse gained a pool and a wine room. The other was refurbished throughout, as our third commission here.
The apartment was stripped back and rebuilt. The scope ran from drawings to specialist plasterwork and a full fit-out.
Each time, one team designed it, priced it and built it. Joinery came from Cochrane Bespoke, our joinery partner.
