Today, the Chocolate Factory is home to an eclectic mix of businesses, from luxury wallpaper designers to trendy streetwear brands. But back in the late 19th century, it was actually a factory making sweets and candy.
We're redeveloping 38,000 sq. ft. of the Chocolate Factory, keeping most of the original structure and unique historical features like the old façade, exposed bricks, and ironwork. This helps us preserve the building’s heritage while cutting down on carbon emissions.
The project focuses on reducing energy use and carbon footprint, with high-performance windows, insulation, and decarbonised heat pumps.
It's all part of a larger neighborhood regeneration plan that includes 230 new homes, 72 of which are affordable, along with a new square and lovely landscaping improvements.
