A number of properties will benefit from private outdoor terraces whilst all residents can benefit from maintained, landscaped communal gardens and direct access to the beautiful Derbyshire countryside.
Some of the apartments will benefit from dual aspect views overlooking the park and Riber Castle, whilst others will overlook a combination of roof tops and countryside.
The development, which faces Causeway Lane, has been designed to retain and enhance the vitality and viability of Matlock town centre. From the outset, the schemes architects, Peak Architects focus has been to create a scheme that acknowledges and makes reference to the town’s architecture and its local context.
Great emphasis is placed on creating a contemporary structure with a simple palette that stands confidently with a strong sense of heritage quality.
The façades are a modern interpretation of the stone fronted buildings that align the high street and will be constructed of a durable, natural stone with standing seam cladding at roof level. The rear block will be clad using a complementary stone coloured brick, seamlessly tying the two buildings together.
Detailed consideration was given to maximise the views across neighbouring Hall Leys Park and the Riber Castle landscape.
