Architect: Acanthus Ferguson Mann. Royal William Yard, Plymouth for Urban Splash Conversion of two Grade I listed 18th century dock buildings, Brewhouse and Clarence to form 130 apartments, cafe/restaurants and exhibition space (15m). Conversion of Mills Bakery to form 65 apartments, offices, cafe/restaurants and exhibition space (13M). Masterplanning of the Western King peninsula to explore future uses of the buildings. The site forms part of the Royal William Yard. The Yard was designed as both a factory and a supply depot intended to supply all the victualling needs of the navy ships at the time. It was designed by Sir John Rennie and constructed between 1825 and 1831and contains what is probably the most important group of historic military buildings in Britain. The proposal is for a mixed-use development, a combination of an arts facility, cafe, restaurant and 130 residential apartments. The public uses are located on the quayside elevations on the ground floor of Brewhouse, with the residential elements located on the ground floor of the west wing and the upper levels. Clarence is to be converted for residential use. The Show Flat in the Brewhouse building is a two bed apartment and forms the first phase of the conversion. It was constructed to accommodate Urban Splash's sales office for the development. As described on Acanthus Ferguson Mann's website - www.acanthus.co.uk
