Number One Bristol: conversion of an office building into apartments
The conversion of a redundant, 1970’s city-centre office building into 148 apartments, with duplex penthouses created in the old plant space on the top floor.
Small windows have been replaced with full height glazed screens and high-level precast concrete panels have been concealed behind new aluminium cladding. Large balconies, fabricated off-site and bolted to the original structure, complete the makeover of this 1970’s building.
A new rooftop garden has been created on the eighth floor roof along with a communal garden room. The apartments were so highly sought after that all bar a handful were purchased off plan.
The development was shortlisted for RICS Residential Award 2018 and RICS Innovation Award 2018, and Highly Commended in the Insider Property Awards South West 2018.
O’LearyGoss Architects designs for Number One Bristol have completely regenerated what was once a disused 1970’s office building into a first rate, exceptionally sought after, residential address in the heart of Bristol’s city centre…O’LearyGoss Architects worked with us from initial concept designs to the end of construction to ensure that the Number One Bristol development was delivered both as a commercial success and an enhancement to the centre of the city.
