Apt has completed the partial demolition and conversion into flats of a 19th-century building in Covent Garden’s Seven Dials conservation area.

Chapter House, formerly Parker House, was built as a lodging house in the 1890s by the London County Council, although it had a number of uses over the years. The architects were London-based Scots Gibson and Russell. Gibson went on to design Middlesex Guildhall, now home of the Supreme Court. 

Apt - formerly Robin Partington & Partners - was appointed in 2016 by development manager Londonewcastle to convert the 52,000sq ft building into 40 flats after it was left unoccupied. The flats, some of which are behind gables or within a water tower, range from studios to two duplex penthouses.
