Commercial

Simpson Street is a renovation project involving the restoration and reuse of an existing Georgian building. The client’s ambition is to bring the property back in line with its original Georgian character, creating a high-quality office space that respects the building’s architectural heritage and historic appearance.

Strategic Approach

The design approach is centred on careful research, sensitive restoration and a strong understanding of the building’s original Georgian style. The property has experienced several different uses over time, including its former use as a public house and later as a fabrication premises. The strategy therefore focuses on removing unsympathetic alterations where appropriate, reinstating key Georgian design principles and developing a refined interior and exterior treatment suited to its new office use.

Results and Effect

The scheme will transform an underused historic building into a high-quality office environment while restoring its architectural identity. By drawing on detailed research and a considered design process, the project seeks to celebrate the building’s Georgian character and provide a long-term, viable use for the property. The result is a sensitive renovation that balances heritage, functionality and the client’s aspiration for a distinctive professional workspace.
