The Royal Chelsea Hospital

Case Study

Client: Commissioners of the Royal Hospital

Architect: Quinlan Francis Terry

Principal Contractor: Wates Construction

Specialist Contractor: Stonewest

Services Provided: New Build Masonry

Project Overview

Stonewest used a combination of Anstrude Roche Clair and Messangis Clair stone imported from France especially for the project of recreating a representation of the original hospital a short walk from the project site. The Royal Chelsea Hospital is a Grade I Listed building.

Key Successes

The works included Classical load bearing masonry, using 3mm joints with very fine tolerances during the manufacture and fixing of the stones.
The new build structure implemented traditional masonry techniques, such as the use of lime mortar.
Stonewest also implemented an on-site quality control system, thoroughly checking over all stones upon delivery to make sure that only the finest quality materials were used on the project.
