Falconer Chester are responsible for this is recently completed residential refurbished & extension located on the fringe of the Ropewalks area and the new East Village district of Liverpool. The existing building, a former school for the blind, has been sensitively refurbished and restored and been given a contemporary uplift with a new glass metal clad rooftop penthouse extension.
The scheme comprises a basement 25 park and 42 no. 1, 2 bedroom and duplex apartments. A fresh palette of materials has been adopted of metal cladding, white render, battleship grey windows, contrasting and enhancing the existing red brick fabric. The penthouse steps back at the top to soften the scale of the new extension and thereby creating a perimeter terrace surrounded by a galvanised metal guarding system.
