Chelmsford Lofts: A Contemporary Aparthotel in Sandyford
Project type: Reconfiguration to create aparthotel
Design in detail
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Sandyford, Chelmsford Lofts is a striking example of adaptive reuse, transforming a classic terraced property into a modern, stylish aparthotel. The project marries contemporary design with thoughtful spatial planning, delivering a series of light-filled lofts that offer comfort, elegance, and a sophisticated city-living experience.
Project Description:
Chelmsford Lofts began as an ambitious vision: to transform an end-of-terrace property into a modern aparthotel capable of offering high-quality, flexible accommodation. The project involved a complete strip-out and extensive reconfiguration, including a bold three-storey rear extension that doubles the building’s footprint and maximises usable space.
The redesign introduces modern, open-plan lofts, each meticulously curated with high-end furnishings, bespoke interior design, and a suite of contemporary amenities. Expansive glazing and carefully considered layouts ensure that each apartment is flooded with natural light, creating a welcoming and airy environment for residents and visitors alike.
Strategically located less than a mile from Jesmond and within easy reach of Newcastle city centre, Chelmsford Lofts combines style, comfort, and convenience. The project exemplifies the transformation of a traditional terraced property into a contemporary urban retreat, offering guests a luxurious, design-led experience in one of the city’s most desirable locations.
