Our Summary
- In the 1970's the building underwent a conversion to offices, continuing a fairly mundane existence until 2002, when an ambitious project to comprehensively restore and redevelop the site was conceived
- An extensive scope of restoration was conceived, with historic building experts DD Architects consulting on the project for almost two years, creating a full Conservation Plan to guide a difficult and complex project that faced numerous challenges included restoring original floor levels, cleaning 30 layers of paint from the stonework, reinstating the stone plinth, portico, entrance hall and other features, removing disfiguring alterations along with designing the new residential & retail elements which remain present to this day
