Exciting news for Cardiff city centre! A historic Grade II listed office building at 16 Windsor Place is set for a transformation into stunning flats. This project, recently approved by Cardiff Council, is aimed at breathing new life into the area known for its brilliantly preserved mid-19th century houses.
The conversion, undertaken by Garrison Barclay Estates, involves not only turning office space into residential units but also giving the building’s façade a much-needed facelift. Expect the return of traditional sash windows and charming railings at the front, preserving the building’s historic character while adding a touch of modern comfort. While the front will echo its glorious past, the back will undergo changes to move away from its current uninspiring state.
The shift from office to residential space marks a clever response to the declining demand for city centre offices, ensuring this beautiful building remains occupied and appreciated. Though the rear extension and other updates are on the cards, respecting the building’s heritage is clearly a top priority.
