Lacemaker's House

Project Description

Situated in the heart of Nottingham’s historic Lace Market, the Lacemaker's House was originally a derelict Victorian workshop. Following extensive conversion works, it has been transformed into a sustainable urban home. Spread over three levels, the house features a striking double-height living and dining area, along with three bedrooms, offering a blend of character and contemporary living.

The design integrates a range of sustainable materials and technologies, including photovoltaic panels, grey water recycling, and a combined heat and power (CHP) unit, which generates both heat and electricity from a single fuel source. High levels of insulation have been achieved using natural products, while the construction incorporates both recycled and composite materials. The result is a highly efficient, low-impact home that retains the architectural character of its historic setting while meeting modern environmental
