Trinity House – Luxury apartments in the centre of Harrogate
aad architects worked closely with our client Vigo Group to lead this stunning conversion project, starting from RIBA stage 4 onward. The first floor of an existing retail building was transformed into seven beautiful residential apartments, with an extension added above to create an additional seven apartments on the second floor.
A key feature of the design is the introduction of a central courtyard, which was previously an internal space. This new open-air area not only brings additional natural light and ventilation to all 14 units but also promotes health and wellbeing for the residents. Each apartment is accessed from this area.
Fun Fact 1: Despite the extensive construction work, one of the ground-floor shops remained open throughout the entire process!
Fun Fact 2: During construction, we uncovered a hidden staircase, which has now been repurposed into a mobile phone repair business – a great example of how unexpected discoveries can bring new life to a space.
