A sustainable future for a historic building
Working with Nottingham-based architects Maber, our Estates team were careful to maintain the facade, while bringing the guts of the hall into the 2020s.
This meant stripping the building back to its structure with the removal of all mechanical and electrical services.
This approach has enabled the installation of many state-of-the-art sustainable features:
- Triple glazed timber windows
- A refurbished slate roof with new leadwork
- Air-source heat pumps
Bedrooms have been fitted with custom designed furniture, heritage features throughout the building such as original woodwork and parquet floors have been retained and a new main entrance space has been created, providing views into a landscaped courtyard which lies at the heart of the building.
The main entrance itself has also been updated into a landscaped courtyard complimented by ornamental tree planting and associated soft landscaping, which now provides an entrance befitting of the hall’s important heritage status within the campus.
