The conversion of a Grade II listed building, with a history spanning over 130 years, requires thoughtful and imaginative planning at the best of times. However, this is all the more important when the building holds a special affection and relevance for a town steeped in an illustrious military past.
In this instance it was more than just bricks and mortar. The building has a lineage dating all the way back to 1894, when the Duke of Connaught, Queen Victoria’s son and General Officer Commanding for the Aldershot District, inaugurated this important headquarters for the armed forces. This challenge however, was more than successfully met by Weston Homes, when they re-imagined the 4th Division Military Headquarters in Aldershot. They transformed the historic site into an exclusive collection of contemporary apartments and cottages, while seamlessly retaining its original character and charming architectural features. To complement the interior layouts and design, Vicaima supplied interior timber doors from their Visual Sensations collection. For this, Weston Homes selected Dekordor® SD Forest in a cross-directional woodgrain styling. Forest, with its rich and luxurious walnut like hue, perfectly complements the tone of the surrounding joinery and
flooring and its combination of both vertical and horizontal grain directions adds an interesting design statement, as you traverse between living areas. Multi-award winning Weston Homes and WhatHouse? Housebuilder Of The Year 2025, has long been an advocate of Vicaima innovative door products, incorporating them throughout many of its residential developments across London and the South
