  • The Keep, Le Marchant Barracks
    Devizes, Wiltshire

    The Keep, Le Marchant Barracks

    From the 18th century to the 21st century

    About the development

    We brought new life to a historically significant, disused military building in the very heart of Devizes by undertaking an innovative redevelopment project.

    Originally constructed in the late 18th century, this former military structure had fallen into a state of disrepair after decades of neglect. However, rather than allowing this piece of history to be lost, we saw an opportunity to preserve its architectural heritage while adapting it for modern-day living.

    Key Project Info

    • Status: Complete in 2014
    • Location: Devizes, Wiltshire
    • Size: 0.4 acres, delivering 13 units

    Restoration

    The building was carefully restored and converted into thirteen thoughtfully designed contemporary apartments, each crafted to blend modern comfort with the character of the original building. 

    Great care was taken to retain and showcase key historical features, while introducing high-quality finishes and energy-efficient systems suited to 21st-century standards.

    Bringing it into the 21st century

    In a bold contrast, a new penthouse was added to the roof, designed with an aesthetic that complements rather than competes with the historic details of the building. This addition not only maximises the potential of the building, but also offers views across the surrounding landscape. 

    The development stands as a proud example of how historic preservation and modern architecture can coexist, bringing new life to a cherished local landmark.
