A planning application has been submitted in Luton. Located to the North of Luton Town Centre, on the corner of Guildford Street and Church Street this development will see the creation of 147 new high quality dwellings. Providing a mixture of 1,2 and 3 bed units and two commercial units at ground level.

The design proposal will reconnect with the hat factory heritage of the town using high quality active frontages at street level with commercial units facing Guildford Street and Church Street. The building design has been carefully considered drawing on the historic influences around the site within the context of the conservation area. The materials proposed on the facade take influence from the surrounding materiality and are of a high quality and long lasting contemporary architectural detailing rather than an imitation of the historic styles. External materials, window proportions and special detailing. The ground floor column design has been chosen and developed to reconnect the site with the hat factory heritage.
