London’s Wolff Architects has appetite for big 2017 following £80m year

London-based boutique architecture firm Wolff Architects is hoping to take a greater slice of Prime London development work next year, after completing £80m worth of work in 2016.

In 2016, the average value of a project undertaken by Wolff stood at £3.5m. However, many of the practice’s developments well exceeded this figure, with its most valuable project – the joint redevelopment of the new build properties on Canons Close and Bishops Avenue – having a combined build cost of £32m.

Over the course of the year, the company has developed a total of 169,000 sq. ft. of commercial and residential space. The largest single project Wolff undertook in terms of square foot was the Kensington Rooms Hotel in June, which involved the redevelopment of 49,000 sq. ft. of space.

Wolff has completed a total of 14 projects so far this year, ranging from refurbishing a ski chalet in the historic French resort of Courchevel, to converting a Mayfair embassy into a large single dwelling and extended a grade II listed house in Belgravia.

David Wolff, Director and Founder of Wolff Architects, commented: “This year has been one of new challenges and a diverse set of projects, of which we are all proud.

“In 2017 we will be looking at how we can convert these substantial results into winning even more ambitious projects, so that we can export our in-depth knowledge of building and design to more parts of Prime London, the UK and beyond.”
