The design brief was to fit-out the newly created basement for staff changing and rest rooms and a state-of-the-art kitchen on a new lower ground floor. This was all to be achieved whilst keeping the dining room functional throughout the project.

Anyone who has ever visited the maze of historical buildings that form the heart of legal chambers around Middle Temple Lane, sited just off Fleet Street will realise just how challenging carrying out any sort of construction work in the area might be. Not only must construction activity be performed at nothing louder than a whisper, so as not to disturb the occupants, but the work site itself and any equipment used must not bar pedestrian or vehicular access along the winding and narrow streets.

Last modernised in 1911, the kitchens are sited in a part of the chambers that date back to the middle 19th century. The kitchen equipment was designed to enable it to pass down the narrow winding corridors.
