Rescuing Fort Road Hotel Margate

Adding to our growing protfolio of work on the Isle of Thanet, Fleet Architects are working with the new owners of the Fort Road Hotel in Margate to explorer returning the prominent building adjacent to the Turner Contemporary to its former use, a hotel.   Details are yet to be investigated but the works will secure the long term future of the building, reputedly frequented by JMW Turner himself, which was previously threatened with demolition.  The building was sold at auction by the Clive Emson auction house and sits within the Margate Conservation Area and is of great value and significence to the townscape and local folklore.

The new owners are keen to work with local interest groups in developing the most appropriate plan which will provide employment in high quality hospitality and catering and seek to use local construction trades in addition to protecting a much loved local property from the bulldozers.

Giz a SIP?

Giz a SIP?

The second phase of Fleet’s redevelopment of a Grade II listed property in central Ramsgate is soon to gather pace. Having rectified extremely challenging ground conditions we spent a sunny day setting out the sole plates for the SIP (Structural Insulated Panels) envelope – a fast track construction system of pre-cut panels that slot together like a card model.

This is an exciting part of the programme – having worked with SIPs a number of times – we know that the building will now rapidly rise to reveal its final form in a matter of days. The weather tight envelope will allow numerous trades to operate simultaneously, condensing the construction period significantly.

Positive Pre-Application ‘Truly Affordable’ Housing

Positive Pre-Application ‘Truly Affordable’ Housing

The Fleet proposals for ‘truly-affordable housing’ with Client St Joseph’s Hospice were well received during the pre-application process with the London Borough of Hackney.

The Client plans to retain ownership of the properties which will be let significantly below market rates to staff of the hospice and other key workers in the Hackney and local community.

Nigel Harding, CEO of St Joseph’s, acknowledges the mission which led to the establishment of the Mare Street Institution in 1901 with goals of helping the sick and the poor of Hackney and sees a future role for the Hospice in helping to provide decent affordable homes as complementary to the original goals.

A full planning application is proposed in summer 2018.
