Situated in central London, overlooking one of the prime thoroughfares, Princes House is a 1920s office building of approximately 4,280 sq ft which has been converted to provide retail space on the ground floor and serviced apartments in the eight remaining storeys.

As a building of merit in a conservation area, it was important to enhance the quality of the existing external façade which was achieved with bespoke feature bronze fascia and coping from Ali-Fabs.

The fascia fitted above the ground floor doors and windows includes a unique picture frame detail manufactured using pressed aluminium and finished in RAL 8014 matt.

Concealed aluminium eaves gutters from Guttercrest have been used in conjunction with a wrap-around aluminium fascia and soffit system. The column casings have been used for a seamless finish and are manufactured from 2mm thick aluminium, which is finished with a matching bronze PPC coating.
