Greyfriars Conversion
2006
Conversion of the B-listed, hostel for the homeless built in the 1940s into residential units. Flat sizes vary from studio to two-bedroom. There are a total of 21 flats with a timber clad, 3 storey new build extension enclosing the rear courtyard. Due to the new layout of the building a new steel & timber structural frame was inserted into the building with the existing floor retained where possible.
