Just before Christmas, the extensive restoration of Belvedere House on Great North Denmark Street part of Belvedere College was completed.

Brendan Merry &Partners have been involved on this project for the past 10 years and we are delighted to finally see the works complete. The project was carried out by Kelly Builders (Rosemount) Ltd. and under the very careful watch of RKD Architects and conservation specialist David Slattery.

The project encompassed many facets of the conservation spectrum but it will be the restoration of the magnificent Michael Stapleton ceilings and murals which will get the most publicity. A process which involved removing over 200 years of paint, their restoration and re-decoration which need to be seen to be believed.
