Logic Homes has breathed new life into a former Printworks in Northampton. The impressive 19th Century building has been refurbished to include 21 flats over three floors. An additional 19 homes have been created in a new build extension to the Printworks.
DLA Associates designed the scheme for Genesis Housing Group; DLA has worked on the building for the past 20 years, while it was still in operation and so knew the Printworks well. Hill Partnerships constructed the building which was finished in two phases; the refurbished homes were completed in March 2009, while the new build homes were completed in September 2009.
