Conversion of a Victorian Building into Luxury Apartments
The Challenge
This project involved the conversion of a Victorian industrial red brick building dating from 1851, currently used as office space, into luxury flats with a provision for parking as a residential development in the city centre for Asquith Homes. It was key to retain the character of the original building whilst ensuring it was suitable for modern apartment standards.
Our Response
The design has six spacious, contemporary apartments ranging from 1,073 sq. ft to 1,468 sq. ft with open-plan living spaces to embody modern luxury living and have been superbly finished throughout whilst keeping exposed brick, original windows / features, and high ceilings typical of industrial buildings. Each of the properties have open plan living / dining area featuring a luxury kitchen, two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and allocated parking set behind gated fob access.
The Outcome
Six high-spec apartments were delivered, each with private parking, finished to a luxury standard and have been designed not only for ideal comfort of the living spaces with regards to natural light, noise reduction, moisture control, thermal insulation and ventilation. But also optimum energy efficiency for environmental sustainability, providing the required internal environment and services with minimal energy use in a cost effective and environmentally sensitive manner.
