By T Plus Architects
An existing pair of 1920’s shops on a busy local high
street, were in desperate need of care after a number
of insensitive additions and neglect over the years.
We were engaged to design extend and convert
the building to create a large real estate office and
auction rooms
The project aimed to revitalise the building through
the restoration of the original street facade, renovation
of the interior, addition of a second floor level and a
rear extension with a landscaped courtyard.
The rear extension design strives to be contemporary
and is detailed carefully to reference the original
building’s architectural language and style, while
maintaining the legibility of the old and the new.
