Project name - Alma Yard

Client - Eat Work Art

Alterations, extensions and refurbishment of Gatehouse, Parade, Chimney, Boundary, Rope, Link and Window Buildings to create studio spaces for creatives

Project location - Plymouth, PL4 0FF

Project status - On-going (phased project)

Alma Yard provides a facility where creative people can gather, encouraging a community spirit & a hub that will encourage & attract others. This is something Plymouth has always lacked. Being based very close to Sutton Harbour & the Barbican area, Alma Yard enhances Plymouth’s heritage by bringing an historic site back to life. Strategically it has been interesting working with the EWA team to ensure the correct design steps are taken to optimise both the historic integrity and commercial value of the existing buildings. It has also been pleasing to see simple design details come to life knowing they form an intrinsic part of the project as a whole.
