Brook Street

Simon Foote Architects was appointed to assess the development potential for this former public house site in the centre of Derby.

Constrained by roads and existing buildings along three of its boundaries, the design took reference from the adjacent Bank’s Mill, a Grade II listed building, in relation to scale, massing and proportions.

The building will accommodate nine apartments and potential retail and restaurant units to the ground floor. The scheme was approved at planning committee in late 2015 with work due to start on site in early 2016.
