C&PA were appointed by Errigal to carry out the architectural services, including planning and construction information, to develop Platinum House in Milton Keynes.
Following a previously unsuccessful attempt at conversion into serviced apartments, C&PA reimagined the building. Replacing the large areas of curtain wall glazing with recessed balconies transformed the character of the building from dated office block into a contemporary serviced apartments. The careful integration of new fabric allowed the building to gain planning approval for 2 additional storeys.
The serviced apartments were designed to make best use of the deep plan of the former office block. C&PA’s proposed internal apartment layouts created ‘open-plan 1-beds’. These created interconnected but separate living and sleeping areas. This efficient solution provided best value for the developer by creating a better guest experience with minimal wasted space.
Platinum House is being operated by the serviced apartment specialists Your Apartment since 2022.
