Information about this winner

A new business and arts centre, the scheme accommodates performance and exhibition space, art gallery, café, studios and meeting spaces. Interestingly, the scheme is created from six refurbished Grade II listed Georgian terraced houses, and connects to a new build complex. Light and quirky, the scheme provides a much needed facility for creative start up businesses. It has a good relationship with the up and coming regenerated historic core, and combines restoration with contemporary design.
