Water Tower NG2

RESIDENTIAL

Proposed Apartments in Courtyard, Water Tower, NG2

At the heart of this scheme is a distinctive Art Deco Water Tower, a reminder of the site’s former use as a hospital and a local landmark. Our proposal sought to breathe new life into the tower, carefully completing its original wings and creating new homes within and around the historic structure. The character and detailing of the existing Art Deco architecture became the inspiration for the wider development, with the new buildings behind echoing its proportions, materials and distinctive style. Landscaped courtyards and carefully considered homes create a welcoming residential setting, bringing together the heritage of the tower with a fresh and contemporary approach to living.

Our clients approached us with their brief with an interesting property they had purchased. This may have had some tinkering with it in its past, leaving it in need of a whole new look inside and out. Internally it needed better connectivity between spaces and enlarging to better cater to the needs and working of this modern family. Externally, it needed to be more welcoming on its frontage and open up to its beautiful garden at its rear.

RESIDENTIAL

Proposed rear courtyard, B15

The project transformed the property into a spacious contemporary family home, combining rear and side extensions with a first-floor extension and loft conversion. The ground floor was reorganised around a generous kitchen, dining and family space, creating a strong connection to a secluded side garden. Upstairs, a new master suite and loft accommodation completed the transformation, enhancing the home while retaining the understated grandeur of the existing property.

ECCLESIASTIC

Proposed conversion & alteration LE1

The project brought together two linked but previously separate buildings to create a single, cohesive 700-seat auditorium and community facility. Through the careful reorganisation of internal spaces, including relocating staircases and fire escapes and extending the ground-floor car park, the scheme created a more open, flexible and welcoming environment. The transformation made better use of the existing buildings while providing the growing Church community with much-needed capacity and ancillary spaces, giving this former factory site a renewed purpose and a new lease of life.

Corvedale Road, B29

RESIDENTIAL

View of Proposed Rear Extension, B29

A characterful property is sensitively altered and extended to meet the clients’ current and future needs. The ground floor is reorganised around an open-plan Kitchen, Dining and Family space, linked to the existing Living room, with a new Utility zone. The first floor gains a new bedroom suite overlooking the garden. The front extension complements the existing property with an oriel window echoing the bay, while a contemporary glazed dining space projects into the rear garden.
