Apartments & Restaurant

A mixed-use scheme in Bishop Auckland, County Durham to design five luxury short term let apartments and a restaurant and bar in the historical core of the town.

The first and second floors will be converted into five high end short-term let apartments targeted at visitors to Bishop Auckland. The low-level roof extension utilises oxide red cladding reflecting the tones of the adjacent historical brickwork. This is complemented by blonde brickwork for the post war elements of the site, to bring the historical gable to the foreground and accord with the adjacent rubble wall. Our design subtly identifies the contemporary elements, establishing a coherent building design in which the historical narrative can clearly be understood.
