A church redevelopment in Hamilton has been transformed into a collection of luxury apartments for rent.
Developed by the Apsis Group, St Andrew’s Church on the corner of Avon Street and Haddow Street, is more than 125-years-old and has been reconfigured to create six apartments with retained period characteristics including cornicing, archways, stained glass and architraves.
Despite the age of the original building, the apartments have secured a ‘B’ EPC energy rating.
Each of the two-bedroom apartments have been individually designed and feature their own unique attributes.
Alex Reid, director at Apsis Group, said, “We’ve been delighted with the response to the apartments which, behind the scenes, represented a really complex construction project to reconfigure an old building into what we can see today, retaining as much of its character as possible. From its striking façade, with its unique windows to the interior specification, each detail had to be carefully considered to not only be aesthetically pleasing but also meet the very strict building regulations and requirements.
“Luckily, we’ve been able to utilise specialised software developed by Apsis Business Components that has enabled us to do this and keep a keen eye on project timescales and costs to ensure the refurbishment was delivered on time and within budget. The results, however, have been exceptional ensuring that residents enjoy a truly unique experience combining the old with the new to offer contemporary, energy efficient homes.”
The development is the final phase of a two-year project which included the delivery of 15 affordable homes, delivered in two phases, complete with solar panels, car parking, infrastructure for EV charging points and a communal garden, on behalf of West of Scotland Housing Association. All the affordable homes are occupied.
