Converted Barracks – Wrexham

Targeted towards the young professional, this local well established developer had taken on a huge project of converting a number of redundant barrack blocks into 1 and 2 bedroom apartments.

The overall design scheme needed to attract a younger market and a decision was made to present both a 1 bedroom and a 2 bedroom apartment to help potential buyers to visualise the room’s layout.

The 1 bedroom apartment was dressed in a striking red and black colour scheme that would suite a single person or couple whereas the two bedroom apartment showed a modern but subtler colour scheme to reflect the possibility of a young family living there.

The most striking part of the two showhomes were the fabric panels hanging against each window. Being an old building, the windows and ceilings were extremely high but the windows were quite narrow and rather than taking a simple option of hanging roman blinds to each window we decided to ‘celebrate’ the height of the ceilings and by using a panel gliding system this produced a window treatment that gave the feeling of large art against the wall drawing your eye to the ceiling.
