In the vibrant heart of Stokes Croft, Bristol, a notable landmark undergoes a transformative high-end refurbishment—an extensive renewal of a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse. This distinguished residence, entrenched in the architectural fabric of the Centre of Bristol, carries a storied history marked by decades of vacancy, following a devastating fire that left the building in ruins. The dilapidated state of the terrace led to its condemnation, necessitating a meticulous rebuilding process.

Navigating the intricate challenges inherent in refurbishing a Grade 2 listed structure, close collaboration with English Heritage became paramount. The project's unique undertaking sought to revive the essence of Georgian England, ensuring a harmonious balance between historical authenticity and contemporary functionality. Seizing the opportunity presented by the disparate neighbouring buildings along the streetscape, the project ambitiously introduced two additional floors, redefining the silhouette of this historic landmark.

The comprehensive scope of work encompassed the meticulous refurbishment of a severely damaged building, ravaged by fire. Intensive collaboration with heritage consultants ensured the faithful reinstatement of all original features that defined the Georgian era. The ultimate purpose of the revived space is as high-end student accommodation, spanning four meticulously curated floors.

The design narrative, unwavering in its commitment to perfection, refused compromise even at the minutest detail. The outcome is nothing short of bespoke—a residence that seamlessly integrates luxurious contemporary details, complementing the intrinsic charm of the original historic features. This Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in Stokes Croft now stands as a testament to the meticulous fusion of classic and modern elements, breathing new life into Bristol's architectural landscape.
