32, Broadway house, Stoney street, The Lace Market, Nottingham is an old factory building erected during the industrial revaluation. Now it is common for buildings, such as this building, to be turned into living accommodation in the form of flats, apartments, or in some cases offices. This particular building has been converted into apartments. However, certain features of the building are still visible today. The ceilings of each floor are very high, as large machinery may have been used in the original factory. Although this was not something that could be changed, thishas a positive effect on each of the apartments, making them feel very light, big and spacey. Exposed brick walls have also been left unchanged, especially on the road facing wall. This again has been used as a feature by the developer, and has been considered when designing the rest of the apartment. each room is very spacious, which could be due to the structural layout of the building, restricting the shapes and sizes of each room. Large Arched windows take up a lot of the wall space, shedding light into each of the rooms.
