Details
Lonsdale Road in Queens Park represents a cherished piece of London’s architectural heritage. This distinctive mews street, now a designated Conservation Area, is home to independent shops, restaurants, and businesses that form the heart of the local community.
When multiple properties along the street required new windows and doors, Lomax + Wood was selected to deliver a bespoke fenestration solution that would respect the area’s historic character whilst meeting modern performance standards.
The project encompassed several properties, each with unique requirements and existing architectural features. Our team conducted detailed site surveys across all plots to ensure precise measurements and appropriate specifications for each building.
The challenge lay in maintaining the authentic mews aesthetic whilst providing contemporary thermal efficiency and security for these busy commercial premises.
Working within a Conservation Area required careful attention to historical accuracy and planning requirements. Our made-to-order approach allowed us to create products that honoured the street’s traditional character, particularly the barn-style French doors that are a defining feature of Lonsdale Road’s appearance. By incorporating heavy-duty T-hinges and glazed overpanels into specific French door designs, we successfully replicated these distinctive architectural elements.
The colour palette was carefully selected to complement each individual property whilst maintaining visual harmony across the street scene. From the striking Moss Green of numbers 43-47 to the sophisticated Anthracite Grey of number 19 and the warm Broccoli Brown of numbers 57-59, each finish was chosen to reflect the character of its building whilst contributing to the mews’ overall aesthetic.
Lomax + Wood provided a combination of Bronze and Silver installation packages tailored to each property’s circumstances. This flexible approach allowed us to work effectively alongside existing builders on some sites whilst taking full installation responsibility on others.
The result is a transformed streetscape where historic charm meets modern functionality, ensuring Lonsdale Road’s independent businesses can thrive for years to come whilst preserving the architectural heritage that makes Queens Park special.
