Ardmore has started work to build a new residential scheme in the heart of Covent Garden's Seven Dials Conservation Area in London.

The Parker House development will feature 40 new high-specification private apartments and three 'affordable' units by mid-2019.

Designed by architect Robert Partington & Partners, features include retaining the existing brick façade and levelling the remainder of the building to create a new basement and six-storey residential block, as well as new mews houses.

James Byrne, Ardmore director said: "We are very proud to have been awarded this contract on the back of a lot of hard work with Londonewcastle and the design team to ensure the project could go ahead.

"Ardmore has a well-established working relationship with Londonewcastle that has allowed us to use our experience of the London residential sector to bring this exciting project in line with our client's budget without a single compromise on quality."

Baerbel Schuett, Development Director at Londonewcastle, said: "We are delighted to be working with Ardmore again and excited to see Parker House get underway. We are looking forward to building on our existing accomplishments with Ardmore in order to deliver high quality housing across London."
