Coomb House

Project Details

The creation of new flats with inviting interiors not only meets the needs of potential tenants but also adds value to the building. Through the change of use and the addition of two floors extensions, we elevate and redesigned the facade and extend the structure, crafting a more attractive and modern living space.

With some ingenious repurposing of an existing abandoned and unused building, along with retaining portions of the original brick wall, the final result embraces one of sustainability and environmental consciousness. This innovative design strategy not only reduces construction waste and associated costs but also minimizes carbon production, making it a responsible choice for the planet.

Through thoughtful design, the main elevation has been redesigned, harnessing the potential of the structure’s history as the fabric of a renowned soap producer. This seamless fusion of past and present not only preserves the building’s heritage but also celebrates its unique story.

Moreover, by insulating the walls to achieve the required U-value, we ensure optimal energy efficiency, creating a comfortable and eco-friendly living space. This transformation exemplifies how architecture can be a powerful agent in reducing our environmental impact and advancing a sustainable future.
Preserving the heritage and embracing its history.

Witnessing the transformation of ideas into tangible improvements is truly amazing and what ignites my passion for architecture.

The collaboration between an investor and an architect is like a magical alliance, making his desires and predictions come true. Together, we unlock the full potential of a building, creating a project that benefits both the society and the investor.

By optimizing the use of space and integrating it seamlessly with the surrounding area, the project becomes a valuable addition to the community. The strategic location near the station further enhances its appeal, making it accessible and convenient for residents and commuters alike.
