ELDRIDGE LOFTS – DORCHESTER

Eldridge Street Lofts Conversion – Brewery Square, Dorchester

KOT Building Contractors are proud to have delivered the successful conversion of five retail units into ten modern, loft-style apartments in the heart of Brewery Square, Dorchester. This project, known as Eldridge Street Lofts, showcases our expertise in transforming commercial spaces into stylish and functional residential living.

Project Overview

The Eldridge Street Lofts project involved a comprehensive transformation that required both precision and creativity. The original retail units were reimagined as contemporary loft apartments, blending industrial design elements with modern comforts.

  • Frontage Transformation: The retail aluminium fronts were removed and replaced with elegant anthracite grey and cedar cladded facades, each featuring new front doors that enhance the aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency of the building.

  • Loft-Style Mezzanines: A timber frame mezzanine floor was installed in each apartment to create a bedroom space that overlooks the lounge area. These mezzanines were finished with frameless glass balustrades, offering an unobstructed view and a sense of openness.

  • Interior Design: The apartments feature open-plan kitchen and lounge areas, providing a spacious and modern living environment. The lounges were fitted with high-quality laminate wooden flooring, while the kitchens, hallways, and bathrooms were finished with durable tile flooring.

  • Modern Bathrooms: Each bathroom was designed with a large shower tray, vanity unit, and a modern toilet and basin configuration, blending functionality with contemporary design.

  • Sound Insulation: To ensure privacy and comfort, acoustic-rated partition walls were installed between each apartment, alongside MF drop ceilings, providing excellent sound insulation.

  • Mechanical and Electrical Installations: The apartments were equipped with state-of-the-art lighting, fire alarms, power sockets, and passive mechanical ventilation, ensuring safety and comfort for residents.

  • Exterior Finishes: The transformation was completed with the installation of stylish cedar planters outside the apartments, adding a touch of greenery and enhancing the overall curb appeal.
