Macaulay Walk has sensitively transformed the site of the nineteenth century Ross Optical Works, a company making cameras and lenses through the World Wars, into a new £village£ for Clapham Old Town. Five new buildings are woven in between six retained and converted warehouses to provide 97 bespoke homes and 30,000 sq ft of flexible studio space, all brought together along a reinstated £internal£ street. Each apartment maximises space and light through intelligent open-plan design, integrating original industrial features; exposed roof trusses, high ceilings and large windows, with modern intervention; mezzanines, balconies and rooftop extensions, to provide comfortable and contemporary living.
