C3 Dwelling HousesOriginally designed by Sir John Renee, these two Grade I listed Naval buildings have been renovated and regenerated to provide housing. In a stunning setting, with views of the river Tamar, the scheme also includes a café and exhibition space which encourages wider community involvement. The existing structure has been retained and the interiors are designed as modern interventions, showing a good use of internal space. The conversion work has been undertaken to high design standards using quality materials. Existing materials, such as granite slabs, have been used where possible, in line with English Heritage’s requirements. Physically, this development contributes to the fabric of Plymouth as a whole by preserving a set of most striking and historically rich and significant set of buildings
