Old Filter House sits in a quiet valley in the north of the Lake District National Park.
Built in 1932, the Filter House and associated water supply pipeline served the villages to the west as far as Penrith. It was operational until the late 1980s and stood empty and neglected until 2013.
Work is now completed on the conversion to a private home. Orwin & Ball are designers and project managers for the project.
This new store fit out was completed for the opening of Westgate Oxford, created to deliver a new retail and leisure destination in the world-renowned and historic city of Oxford.
The refurbishment of Debenhams flagship store on Oxford Street, was completed at the end of 2013.
The store received a £25million interior refurbishment and enhancement of the external elevations with a new kinetic facade.
Orwin & Ball were responsible for the detailed design and coordination of all interior refurbishment and fit out works. The main contractor was Simpson of York, and concept design was by Dalziel + Pow.
The make over of the seven-storey building included a new atrium rooflight with new display balconies to three floors of the central vertical space. It also created its biggest ever shoe and lingerie departments — plus an extra floor of trading space.
47 Beak Street, Soho, was the first stand alone store for the Gant Rugger brand in the UK, Orwin & Ball were appointed by Gant UK as lead designers and project managers.
The project was completed in less than 3 months, from clients brief to opening the doors to customers - including design, procurement, approvals and construction.
Rugger explores the brand's unique heritage, reinventing vintage preppy classics that were right at the birth of American sportswear during the 1950's. The store is finished with reclaimed furniture and fittings, including 1930s teak furniture, a haberdashery counter, 1950s medical display cabinets and Danish shelving by Poul Cadovius.
In order to create this casual feel of found heritage all ‘permanent’ wall coverings were removed to reveal a previous life, some were kept (such as the butchers wall tiling) and some replaced.
