Rivermill Loft

The Rivermill had been empty for almost twenty years. Its steel trusses were sound, its brick honest — everything else had to go.

We stripped the hall back to its structure, restored every arched window with slim black steel glazing and inserted a free-standing oak mezzanine that never touches the historic walls. Underfloor heating, a heat pump and a new insulated roof bring the building to near-zero energy while the industrial character remains untouched.
