Inner Temple

We worked on the development of the Inner Temple’s new library and educational facilities, part of the building's first major works since its reconstruction following damage during the Second World War. The project, our largest to date, included the complex refurbishment of the existing second-floor library (including complete removal, extensive adaptions, re-finishing and reinstatement), new library bookcases, solid-oak slatted panelling in the auditorium, refurbishment of over a hundred sash windows and new joinery/cabinetry and internal doorsets (including a large number of fire doorsets) throughout. Being an integral part of the design development process helped us to balance heritage detailing with highly technical modern functions. And when it came to removing, refurbishing, adapting, refinishing and reinstating the second-floor library, the client said it looked as if we'd never touched it!
