Our developer client came to us with the idea of converting the former Broughton High School into 60 high end, modern studio apartments. The existing building had 4.6m ceilings, which gave the opportunity for open plan mezzanines, with sanitary and kitchen ‘pods’ below. Through a robust design process, we secured planning for 74 units, as well as a large roof terrace, communal gym and residents lounge. Construction work completed in 2019.
