Project Detail

The Mill, Waterside Village, Loughborough

Large Residential Scheme of the Year Award 2020-2021 Winner

A former hosiery mill facing dereliction, The Mill has been reclaimed and restored as 76 luxury apartments in a waterside setting.

The one and two-bedroom apartments are at a gateway hub into Loughborough. The design took inspiration from the mill’s past, using the building’s historic elements and retaining its iconic chimney.

The rugged, industrial feel is inside and out and fuses the original structure and the two new storeys added at roof level.

Project Overview

The Mill has been designed not just for living in but for working and playing in too. There is a communal workspace and a gym, plus canal side gardens and moorings.

The goal was to preserve the existing fabric of the building whilst creating a contemporary living space.

The 130-year-old structure could not bear the weight of the additional floors added, so a fusion frame was added.

Beautiful brick work, bullnose brick detailing and decorative stops, high ceilings, original iron, oak and bow string beams, and cast iron columns with original maker’s plates were revealed and retained.
