Development Approach
The project involved a comprehensive strip-out, extension, and re-purposing of the ageing industrial site under Permitted Development Rights. The fascia of the two-storey building, once used as office space for the printing business, was overhauled to meet contemporary living standards.

Over 12 months, this 2,000 sq ft building was transformed into 5 modern flats, blending original character with contemporary design. The development not only created functional and aesthetically pleasing homes but also significantly boosted the local housing stock, providing much-needed residential units to the community.
