Consort Architectural Hardware, a leading manufacturer & supplier of architectural hardware products, located at 28-31 Lower Loveday Street, has been given the nod to transform their premises with a bespoke new low energy, low carbon expansion.

The environmentally conscious scheme is composed of an existing Grade C locally-listed gothic revival building and a set-back warehouse storage unit.

With its gothic arch details, the heritage property will accommodate offices on its lower levels, with an upward extension introducing two duplex apartments to the site. External balconies & a new ‘false façade’ at second-floor level will be created, allowing for maximum resident privacy.

The warehouse will also be expanded in line with other developments next to the site (see below), affording Consort the luxury of additional storage for their products.
