Working within a royal setting

The project required the demolition of the existing porch and the construction of a new ramped entrance designed to provide improved accessibility. Situated within one of the country’s most recognisable and highly visited royal estates, the works demanded careful planning, sensitive coordination, and close attention to the surrounding historic environment.

Balancing heritage and function

Constructed predominantly from Bath and Portland stone, Buckingham Palace presents a highly significant architectural setting. DBR carried out the works with consideration for both the operational requirements of the Royal Household and the need to preserve the character and appearance of the listed structure.
