OUR STORY
THIS OLD SALVATION ARMY HALL WAS BUILT IN 1910. Planning was in place for the old building to make way for a block of flats. We saw the potential of this beautiful old building and the space within it, so to save it we bought it at auction. Whilst renovating the interior of the old building, a new extension and subterranean rooms were built. This has achieved a modern finish that is in keeping with the original hall. The exterior of the building has remained the same in its classic style, as a nod to its creator Ernest Clevett.
WE PUT AN EXPERT TEAM TOGETHER TO ENSURE EVERY ELEMENT OF THE STUDIO WAS THOUGHT ABOUT IN DEPTH BY A SPECIALIST IN THEIR FIELD.
