Within a Conservation Area, Listed Building - Grade II, New Build
This exciting project, formerly a 1760’s tax collectors house then the Holy Trinity Junior School, now accommodates a state of the art 1000m2 medical centre and Pharmacy. Completed in December 2011 for Medicx, this exciting project to revitalise a historic listed building has culminated in a striking relationship between the refurbished existing building and the modern yet sympathetic extension. The overall design needed to be a considered reaction to the conservation area and the listed building. Palettes of new and reclaimed materials were used together with the scale and massing of the extension in close consultation with the local planning and conservation of officers. Demolition of the original extensions and opening up of the building revealed many original features that were repaired and reinstated. The extensions are an interplay of materials carefully selected to sit comfortably with the locality and listed building context in a contemporary way.
