Working alongside the design and planning teams, he helped reinstate the building’s original decorative scheme, refine new interventions, and elevate its interiors to the highest level of quality.
Buxmead
Ian Waller advised on the decorative plaster detailing for Buxmead, an ultra‑luxury apartment development on The Bishops Avenue — retaining an ornate Edwardian façade while creating lavish communal spaces beneath. His expertise helped tie classical period elements into a modern Art Deco–inspired interior scheme.
