Campbell Street, Belper, Derbyshire

We were briefed to design eleven apartments on an infill site in Belper, which is part of the world heritage site. Our proposal sat neatly between the existing buildings through form and massing. Materials were chosen to blend in with neighbouring properties. However, we added a contemporary feel with a large vertical frame which provided a drive through to rear parking, and glazing above. The top floor was then set back behind a glazed balcony with a floating roof.
