Yorke House
February 2002

Client: Braemore Properties Limited

Contract Value: £800,000 (approx)

Situated in the historic Park Estate area of central Nottingham, ‘Yorke House’ is a fine example of a late Victorian Villa. Originally constructed as a single dwelling in a substantial plot, it had previously suffered some decline. Braemore Properties bought the building with the intention of creating the finest apartments in the City. The result is a striking example of sympathetic but radical design alteration. The entire roof structure was removed to allow the construction of new mezzanine and roof-deck levels (formed with a steel frame) within the two penthouse apartments. These provide spectacular views across the City. The ground was excavated below the ground floor units to provide semi-subterranean living areas, which lead out to the landscaped rear gardens.
