The Old War Office

A prestigious redevelopment

Luxury and sophistication in a location like none other.

A place where famous figures once roamed the corridors, this redevelopment is set to become one of the most prestigious locations in London. Filled inside with nothing less than luxury, from the £30,000 gold leaf ceiling to the original mosaic floors, it’s no wonder apartment prices start at a whopping £5.8 million! Designed by EPR Architects and 1508 London, Old War Office features Enigma Sliding Pocket Doors and Selo doors throughout.

The building was bought in 2016 by the Hinduja family for £350 million where they appointed EPR Architects and 1508 to design the redevelopment, along with the contractor Ardmore Group. Selo and Enigma are proud to have also been chosen for the most prestigious redevelopment in London. We’ve supplied over 600 metal riser doors, over 200 sliding pocket door frame kits, multiple clad riser door sets, automatic opening vents, access panels, and concealed frame door sets.

We worked with the architect to ensure their vision was fulfilled for this stunning property. We made sure extensive fire testing was done on different wallpapers and gypsum mouldings to ensure they could use what they wanted to on our riser doors and still be compliant.

The redevelopment will be creating around 2500 jobs and offering around 100 apprenticeships including in construction, plumbing, electrical, and carpentry. Due to the hexagonal shape of the building it was a challenge to fit everything in effectively but careful planning resulted in each residence being unique in shape and size making them even more sought-after because of their uniqueness.
