Appleton Gate
Sitting within Newark's Conservation Area, Appleton Gate is a mixed-use development that draws from its surroundings.
The existing building's character is reflected through lighter brickwork on the new extension, chamfered window openings, and pre-cast concrete banding aligned to existing datums.
A flat-roof link between the two structures references the contemporary addition at the neighbouring Palace Theatre, carefully connecting old and new.
Aubourn Architecture delivered a high-quality design that sits comfortably within the Conservation Area. It respects its historic surroundings while adding something fresh, and we are proud of the result.
Perspective Property
We sensitively reconfigured the existing building to accommodate a ground-floor commercial unit — soon to be home to a local coffee shop — alongside three one-bedroom apartments. Our sympathetically designed extension delivers a further four one and two-bedroom homes.
The result is a development that respects its historic setting while generating real value through a well-considered mix of uses and unit types, proving that context-driven design and commercial success can be achieved together.
