Lock-14 offices, summer row - birmingham
Located in the Jewellery Quarter Conservation Area the site is adjacent to the Paradise development in central Birmingham. The run-down previous restaurant-bar and nightclub have been developed as a change of use, along with refurbished office space to the floor above, into a larger 4 storey office complex with a communal entrance and collaborative working area. A double height reception area leads to reorganised circulation that links up the varying floor levels in the old building, stepping down to follow the slope of the hill. A redesigned frontage ties together the whole development, announcing a new presence on the main thoroughfare into Birmingham and aiding in rejuvenating the street scene in this location.
