Sensitive, detailed and extensive Listed building project to allow public access to George Frideric Handel’s house and Jimi Hendrix’s flat. Haines Phillips Architects won the commission for the first phase of the long term master plan for the expansion of the museum’s facilities to complete the full reinstatement of the baroque composer George Frideric Handel’s House at 25 Brook Street and to allow public access to the rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix’s flat at the third floor of 23 Brook Street. A new mansard roof extension at fourth floor level above no.25 Brook Street allowed the museum’s office to be relocated, in turn releasing the spaces within the Hendrix flat at third floor level in no.23 Brook Street for public access. No.25 is Grade I Listed and no.23 is Grade II Listed. The project funding was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and supplemented by private donations.
