47 Old High Street
Residential
Roger De Haan founder of Saga
Group of Companies and 'The Roger
De Haan Charitable Trust', created
an opportunity for our client with his
regeneration of Folkestone by redeveloping
the 'creative quarter'.
The Old High Street is at the heart of
the regeneration and embraces the
linking of conservation and contemporary
contextual architecture.
Our client, an educator in art, design
and communication, was right at
home in this fault line of architectural
design.
A carefully restored Old High Street
façade and roof reconstruction hides
a contemporary loft space which
provides a hint of the new/old junction
with this modern twist on a roof
extension. The project is the by-product
of Roger de Haan's strategy
seeding urban regeneration.
