 Carlisle Client: Border Homes |
This project, nearing completion in central Carlisle, contains 32
apartments and ranges in height from three storeys along the Milbourne
Street frontage, increasing to five storeys overlooking the River Caldew and the city centre, including ground floor car parking. The form of the building responds to the scale of its
setting and makes full use of the restricted site. The development uses external materials and finishes
which are traditional and sympathetic towards the surrounding urban
context, whilst the various details also promote a contemporary setting
for city living.  |
The
project consists of eleven apartments created through
converting the upper floors of this historic property, formerly a hotel, retaining commercial uses at ground floor level. The project was delivered via a partnering agreement between Two Castles Housing Association, Thomas Armstrong (Construction) and Day Cummins Ltd. |  | The Globe Whitehaven | ||

Castle is Grade II Listed and was the town residence of the Lowther
family, owners and developers of the port and town in the Georgian era. Originally
constructed in the 17th century and known as the ‘The Flatt’, it was
extended and extensively remodelled in the 18th century under
successive Lowther generations. More recently, the building served as a
hospital before standing empty for several years. The project comprises the comprehensive restoration and conversion of the castle to accommodate 33 residential apartments within the historic shell. Design and specification work was carried out in close liaison with English Heritage and the local planning authority. Completed 2001. |
