54 - 56 park street
project roundup:
client: Urban Creation
project team: Cook Brown Building Control, Skeletal Consulting Engineers Ltd, Clever Space Construction
location: Bristol
Originally constructed in the 1950s, 54-56 Park Street, was marked by the need for post-war reconstruction, following severe bomb damage during WWII.
The project aimed not only to restore the building’s former glory but also to create a space conducive to modern living.
The project involved the conversion of two floors of redundant office space above retail units, coupled with the addition of a new mansard roof, breathed new life into the architectural landscape of Park Street.
In support of sustainability design, the renovations allowed; high-performance timber windows, renewable technologies integrated into the roof, and thermal upgrades ensured both environmental consciousness and energy efficiency.
