INSPIRED BY THE PAST,
DESIGNED FOR TODAY
Talented and renowned for architectural excellence, Tim Groom Architects, have taken design inspiration from the site’s unique heritage. Excelsior stands on the site of what was once the largest printing and bookbinding works in the UK. The unique interior design looks to reinterpret the architectural history of the site and the surrounding historic area.
At a time when standardised residential developments are rising fast, Excelsior breaks the mould by presenting an exciting and forward-thinking approach to residential living. The design from UTH Studio encapsulates the modern attitude and characteristics of the city, whilst taking inspiration from the building’s ‘inky’ history to form an aesthetic unique to Excelsior.
The open-plan apartments are looded with natural light with loor-to-ceiling windows and the stunning rooftop gardens offer a tranquil place to enjoy the skyline.
From the start, our ethos was to design a scheme that tears up the ‘handbook’ and that creates
something special.
EXCEPTIONAL. HISTORIC.UNIQUE INSIDE AND OUT.
