This dramatic, contemporary residential scheme is on the edge of Nottingham’s historic Lace Market. The development comprises 35, two-bed apartments, 5 one-bed units and 1 three-bed penthouse. Many enjoy views over the nearby Barker Gate Rest Garden and have external terraces or balcony spaces. The development includes covered parking for 36 cars.

The form and scale of the development responds to the contrasting character of the spaces onto which it faces, stepping down from a busy urban environment toward the quieter rest garden.

The principal facade is wrapped in a curved zinc cladding and is complemented by a palette of render and timber cladding. The ground floor street facade includes an artwork commemorating the former lace manufacturers that gave the area its name.

Planning Consent was received in 2006.
