Some of the most historically significant areas of the building are to be opened up to the public through the creation of a café / bar within the old Court House .
The buildings ’ vast lofts will also be activated and brought into use for the first time as office space through the integration of conservation roof lights , dormer windows and new lift provision .
Under Castleforge ’ s Clockwise co-working brand , office tenants will be able to rent a private office , dedicated desk or choose club membership , a hot-desking model which provides start-ups with access to the benefits and facilities of more established businesses at a lower cost . A members ’ lounge is to be created within the former Council Chamber .
A new lightweight first and second-storey extension clad in metal shingle replaces an existing poor-quality extension to provide space for the 24 hotel bedrooms in a way that is sensitive to the historic setting and reduces the load on the existing heritage building below .
The hotel will complement Clockwise ’ s offer and support the local economy through the provision of overnight accommodation . By supporting many small and medium sized businesses within a single complex , a vibrant and engaging atmosphere will be created . This will be enhanced through opportunities for networking and incidental meetings to take place in the wide variety of flexible internal and external communal spaces .
