Completed: One Palace Green
Flanagan Lawrence were appointed by REDD as Executive Architect to deliver Pilbrow and Partners’ design for the restoration and refurbishment of One Palace Green, a Grade II* listed building.
One Palace Green was designed by Phillip Webb for George Howard, 9th Earl of Carlisle and an artist between 1868-73 and was one of a series of projects undertaken by Webb from1860. The house was an early example of Arts and Crafts architecture and included interiors designed by Morris & Company. The project was an example of one of several successful collaborations between William Morris and Phillip Webb.
Having joined the project once it had achieved Planning Approval and Listed Building Consent, Flanagan Lawrence developed the detailed design through RIBA Work Stages 4-6 - including further planning submissions to develop the consented scheme and many condition submissions - to elegantly deliver the vision which was set-out by the Pilbrow design.
Flanagan Lawrence were appointed to undertake Executive Architect and Interior Architect services to REDD pre-contract, and client side architectural Compliance Monitoring Team services to REDD post-contract as well as novated services to the Contractor, DeGroup. Working closely with the retained interior designer, Martin Kemp Design, the beautifully crafted interiors have been successfully integrated into the scheme to rejuvenate this Arts & Crafts masterpiece and create a series of five bespoke apartments and a new Coach House.
Whilst the original building had suffered much alteration which had degraded it’s clarity and coherence over time, the completed scheme has secured the long-term preservation of an important heritage asset. Gardens designed by Randle Siddeley complete the restoration of this unique project.
