Case Study: Refurbishment, Crown St

Built in 1837, this building was formally a Temperance Hall. Located opposite the well known North Star public house, the building shows two storeys to the front, but to the rear (due to the slope of the hill), it has four storeys.

The clients purchased the property in 2014, with the intention of turning it into a residential dwelling. Local architects Kenneth Reed & Associates were instructed and a set of plans was presented to our company, at an early stage, to see if we could provide a price for this ambitious project.

Upon seeing the building, our first input, was to suggest that the loft space be converted in part, and to provide vaulted ceilings to the first-floor living space.
