Introduction

The Pipe Factory is a Grade B-listed heritage landmark undergoing sensitive redevelopment to futureproof the building while preserving its historic character.

Background

The project focuses on improving the comfort, usability, flexibility and efficiency of the building, while respecting listed building and heritage requirements. Works include fabric repairs, glazing upgrades, improved insulation, and the introduction of accessible entrances and lifts.

Challenges

Key challenges include upgrading performance and accessibility without compromising the historic fabric, and ensuring all interventions align with listed building constraints and conservation principles.

Solutions

A carefully considered design approach has been adopted, repairing and enhancing the external fabric, addressing glazing performance, and introducing discreet insulation measures. Accessibility upgrades, including new lifts and entrances, are integrated sensitively to bring the building up to 21st century standards while retaining its heritage value.
