An extraordinary renovation of a former textiles factory offering c. 8,942 sq. Ft. Of multi-purpose space including three self-contained living areas with magnificent character features.DescriptionSavills is delighted to present this extraordinary renovation of a former textiles factory which was completely remodeled in 2012 by esteemed local developer Javelin Block. With a focus on reanimating the building while honouring its former use, Javelin Block have produced a spectacular property which was shortlisted for the prestigious Stephen Lawrence award in 2017 and the recipient of three riba awards that year.Offering an incredible multi-functional space including three self-contained living spaces, an artist's studio, office, speak-easy bar and 25-seat cinema the space has been used by a number of blue chip companies and industry-leading figures for exhibitions and photo shoots. Unassuming from the outside and in keeping with the local area, vehicular access and generous parking is via electronic shuttering with an adjacent Banham-locked side entrance. The superb space is immediately unveiled as you enter the winter garden with electric vehicle charging point, triple height gabled ceilings and a series of bridges, balconies and mezzanine floors.On your right hand side you will find "The Treehouse", one of the self-contained living spaces accessed via a spiral staircase and complete with its own kitchen and ensuite bathroom. On your left, a steel-framed Crittal window wall spans the entire length of the space and separates the courtyard from the main residential areas whilst allowing light to flood the entire space through the panels of skylights.Occupying most of the ground floor is an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area complete with antique brass island, inspired by a welder's bench, a range of high quality integrated appliances and stylish, polished concrete floor with underfloor heating. Throughout the ground level you will find a variety of flexible spaces which could be used as further bedrooms or snugs while the lower ground floor rooms include a softly lit speakeasy bar and 25-seat cinema with surround sound system (furniture and technology available by separate negotiation).The principal bedroom suite is situated centrally on the first floor complete with ensuite bathroom, finished in an industrial style with brass fixtures and fittings, and walk-in wardrobe. From here you can access the spacious balcony overlooking the interior winter garden.Also accessible from this floor are two further bedrooms, an office space and beautifully bright studio split across two levels which again could be thoughtfully repurposed for a number of uses to suit you.In keeping with Javelin Block's "modus operandi" many fixtures and fittings have been sourced from local craftsmen and tradespeople in order to bring the property back to life whilst retaining its spirit. Exposed brick and steel frames, former prison doors, a working industrial crane and light fixtures from decommissioned ships all add to the "wow factor" and unique character of the space.Situated within Birmingham's historic and vibrant Jewellery Quarter, here you'll find a burgeoning scene of independent craftsmen, retailers, eateries and bars while 40% of the uk's jewellery continues to be manufactured within the Quarter. This is a neighbourhood that's proving itself to be second to none while you'll also be within 0.5 miles of picturesque St. Paul's Square, the Bull Ring Shopping Centre, Selfridges, Michelin star restaurants, fantastic bars and independent pubs in addition to Colmore Business District, Birmingham Snow Hill and Birmingham New Street railway stations with direct links to London Euston and London Marylebone from 1 hour 24 minutes.

Shortlisted for the prestigious Stephen Lawrence award in 2017 and recipient of three riba awards in the same year, this extraordinary renovation of a former textile factory offers a series of exciting residential and creative workspaces. Internal accommodation spans multiple levels, encompassing three self-contained living spaces, an artist’s studio, office, speak-easy bar and a 25-seat cinema and has been home to an impressive portfolio of location shoots, hosting some of industry’s leading figures, including Stephen Spielberg earlier this year.The building was completely remodelled in 2012 by the renowned local developer Javelin Block, whose renovations focus on bringing disused buildings back to life, whilst honouring their former use. Minimal intervention was a driving factor in the design concept and from street level the façade of the building has been left untouched. Almost indistinguishable from the surrounding buildings, the property feels private and perfectly in-keeping with the local vernacular.Vehicular access is via electronic shuttering, providing generous off-street parking in the internal courtyard, with a modest side entrance adjacent. The fantastic scale and volume of the space is immediately revealed, with triple-height gabled ceilings soaring to 35 metres, and light spilling down through long panels of skylights.At one side of the courtyard is one of the several self-contained living spaces, accessed via spiral staircase. Opposite, a breath-taking curtain of black, steel-framed Crittal-windows spans the entire length of the space, delineating the double-height inner courtyard from the residential areas, transforming the quality of light and spatial experience.A number of impressive and varied live/work spaces are positioned on one side of the glazed wall, offering great versatility of use. The vast volume of the warehouse is intersected by a series of walkways and bridges, with more intimate areas nestled beneath lower ceilings; lighting softened to create a warmer, domestic aesthetic. Spiral staircases lead to bedrooms and expansive skylights draw natural light down into the dramatic voids.Occupying most of the ground floor is an expansive open-plan, kitchen, dining and living area. A long, bespoke kitchen island, inspired by a welder’s bench is positioned centrally, providing a natural focal point. The ground floor is loosely organised in an open-plan layout, with several lounge areas nestled in quieter pockets of the space.The master bedroom suite is positioned in the centre of the plan on the upper floor, a wonderfully characterful space with timber-clad walls, bi-folding doors and an adjacent walk-in wardrobe. A beautifully bright studio room and office are split across two levels and also accessible from this floor; providing a secluded and quiet workspace set aside from the rest of the building.The lower ground rooms in the building are currently set up as a softly-lit speak-easy bar and a 25-seat cinema with surround sound system (furniture and technology available by separate negotiation).The interior has an ambitious, fun, theatrical spirit, where reclaimed prison doors are paired with exposed brick walls and copper lights from a decommissioned submarine hang overhead. Many fixtures and fittings have been sought from local craftsmen and tradespeople or sourced from the original textile factory as a nod to the building’s lineage.The Compound is superbly located for ease of access to the city’s many cultural highlights and within walking distance of Birmingham New Street, the cafes and restaurants of St Paul’s square and the peaceful waterways of the Birmingham and Fazeley canal.The Quarter earned its name in the nineteenth century as the largest concentration of jewellery manufacturers in Europe. At one point accounting for 40% of the jewellery manufactured in the UK, this area of unique character has been described by English Heritage as a ‘national treasure’ and as having a ‘particular combination of structures associated with jewellery and metalworking which does not seem to exist anywhere else in the world’. Nestled in amongst these businesses are a variety of independent bars, restaurants, coffee shops, florists, chocolatiers and home furnishers.The Jewellery Quarter is well served by public transport. Trains from Birmingham New Street to London depart regularly with peak journey times of an hour and a quarter; trains to Manchester also run regularly in just under an hour and a half and Birmingham airport is just 20 minutes by car.
