King William House is a former 1970s office block which sits at the heart of Hull’s Old Town conservation area and is well-known for its glazed window panels casting glorious reflections of the Grade-I Listed Hull Minster situated opposite.

​

Work began in 2018 to transform the vacant and outdated building into 30 high-quality one- and two-bedroom apartments above a ground-level arcade of 9 retail units. The building has been entirely re-clad to create a modern new façade, featuring areas of glass which retain the reflective effect it has become renowned for, and significantly enhance the surrounding streetscape.

​

The Broadley Group were appointed by developers Yorkshire Ventures to oversee the building’s transformation, with Aspect 4 Ltd providing project management services and Brewster Bye Architects designing the £6m scheme. We have previously worked very closely with these firms to deliver a multitude of regional and national projects and are delighted to have been a part of the design team for yet another fantastic scheme. 

​

NOVO were appointed to provide Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health designs and consultancy up to RIBA Stage 4 – including utility diversions. The apartments reached completion in August 2019; with the commercial units completed as a second phase.
