LINCOLN PLAZA HOTEL Canary Wharf.
CDC Engineering were contracted by Fileturn to undertake a metal work of the hotel and its restaurants. We have had an extensive input in this building as the work continued with bespoke features such as ceiling, wall features, bar fittings, straight back staircases with glass balustrade, column and wall cladding, external cladding and signage, planters, back bar fittings and the feature polished concrete spiral staircase with brass handle.
The project involved a full-fit refurbishment and bespoke bespoke metalwork/interior-joinery contract for the newly redesigned Pavilions Member Club in Kensington — a high-end, contemporary restaurant, delicatessen, bar, and florist outlet designed to serve club members and discerning public clientele. Working alongside the interior design team DesignLSM, we were commissioned to manufacture and install a range of bespoke elements that deliver a unique, premium aesthetic tailored to the client’s vision.
To meet these objectives we delivered a comprehensive suite of custom-made metalwork, joinery, and design-led fittings, including:
Throughout the project, we collaborated closely with the design team, ensuring high precision and finishing standards — combining craftsmanship with the client’s aesthetic direction and practical needs.
This project showcases our ability to:
This case stands as a benchmark for what we can deliver when high standards, premium materials, and bespoke craftsmanship are required — and is especially relevant to clients such as restaurants, bars, hotels, retail-hospitality concepts, and bespoke residential projects looking for luxury metalwork or joinery solutions.
CDC Engineering was pleased to be part of this project and manufacture outside entrance canopy and cladding, internal and external signage, and internal garden cladding of the newly refurbished 45 Eagle Street commercial offices.

This project saw a continuation of a strong working relationship from previous projects with the main contractors Corley and Woolley.
DoubleTree by Hilton Urban Meadow Cafe in Bayswater, London. Urban Meadow is located near Kensington Palace, bringing to life the beauty of a Hyde Park meadow set against a sophisticated, London urban backdrop, with a terrace for al fresco dining.

The Bersey Warehouse is located on Old Street and the corner of Coronet Street. Aviva acquired the building with the vision of retaining much of the original brick facing seen inside the building. The project aimed to keep the workspaces bright and airy, with the old building keeping much of its character. The project intended to bring a modern feel to the building, with large brass doors and architrave, all of the lift surrounds were of grained brass, which also completed the large green finished windows. CDC Engineering manufactured and fitted all of the brass and copper verde work within this building including external facades, internal and external signs, bespoke brass cladding doors and facies, lifts, doors, staircase green copper verde bespoke finish.
Through our detailed pre-manufacture survey that we routinely conduct, we were able to work with the client to resolve these clash points and manufacture a high-quality bespoke units to fit the required spaces.
CDC Engineering sister company Alpine Fabrication expertly manufactured and fitted all of the FCU covers for the building. This project came with some unique challenges, most notably several different size units were used. Many of the offices had pipework close to adjacent walls, and fitting positions varied on each FCU cover.
Collins Construction Ltd was the main contractor, and with their expertise and help, I have to say this project was a joy to work on.
Fred Perry HQ located on the corner of Mount Pleasant, London WC1.
Award-winning architects Buckley Gray Yeoman and main contractor Willmott Dixon have worked closely with Fred Perry for years, designing stores that add value to the brand.
The contemporary design for the Fred Perry HQ based in London featured the exposed brickwork and timber beams. The design was complemented by our bespoke acid etch blackened steel panelling to the walls and lift surrounds, notably in the reception area.
We used this bespoke patinated black lacquer finish for all 40 of the FCU covers, architectural exterior, wall cladding, architraves, staircase cladding, lift surrounds internal and external cladding, and reception area in the building, with all of the neat TIG welds on show, and the metal’s natural colours visible through the finished topcoat lacquer.
To achieve the client’s desired look, the sheet metal was chosen from a larger batch number of sheets for acid etching to ensure that the material chosen had the natural hot rolled effect consistent throughout.
The Bersey Warehouse is a commercial building that was refurbished by main contractor Collins Construction Ltd and Architects Buckley Grey Yeoman.
Contemporary refurbishment of 1920’s textile warehouse into the office space, restaurant and retail space including the addition of two new storeys on top of the existing three-storey building and a basement below.

A totally up to date look for a previously ‘tired’ building, whilst not listed it lies in the South Shoreditch Conservation Area and has been sympathetically converted with a striking colour specification combining green powder coating, brass cladding and copper panels.
We manufactured copper verde facades, external window frames, internal and external signage, bespoke brass cladding doors and facies, lifts and staircase in green copper verde bespoke finish that suited the art deco feel of the building.
We used a bronzing technique to create a smooth textured finish on the lifts that complements the architect’s visual requirements. We also supplied the building with FCU covers that were specifically designed to suit the property while reducing vibration and noise.
After the success of our previous project, CDC Engineering and Alpine Fabrication were delighted to continue working relationship with Buckley Gray Yoeman Architects. Alpine Fabrication brought their valuable experience and expertise to this unique art deco-inspired 1920s building. Alpine manufactured 132 FCU covers to be fitted within the building.
Through coordination with the contractors’ team and the hands-on site experience of our design team, we highlighted a variety of dimensions relating to window heights and pipe clashes which were actioned and resolved before manufacture took place. We provided drawings that highlighted a number of issues that we identified when surveying the property. We were able to provide solutions to rectify these problems before any site fittings took place, thus saving the client valuable time and money.
Summit House was another successful project that we completed with Corley and Woolley, interior and fit-out specialists.
We worked alongside Box 9 Design to achieve the desired vision of the old Victorian railway station setting, The Rail House Café, creating an intimate restaurant and bar based in London.
We manufactured a skeleton building of aged steel, arched screens and decorative, slender columns within the glass envelope, reminiscent of a mixed utilitarian and tram-shed finishes with Victorian glamour. We manufactured the ornate Oak and Steel staircase that leads customers to the upper bar that is completely enclosed with Oak panelling inspired by train carriages and floor to ceiling steel opening windows. We also fabricated and installed the ceilings, bars, and other architectural features using our acid etching technique to create an antique aesthetic reminiscent of past railway stations. We used patination technique to create this antique and rustic design of the property. All the metalwork we created was patinated based on the restaurant’s appearance and the information provided by the architect.
