Development:
The Hoover Building, Western Avenue,
Perivale UB6 8DW

Taking on so many roles in its 86-year lifespan, the Grade II listed building has now taken on its latest chapter as a residential building accommodating 66 homes. At the heart of this transformation is the comprehensive repair of the façade to return the building to its former glory, and the incorporation of a new timber structure to create the homes while minimising the impact on the existing building.

RICS judges said the most famous factory building in the UK was brought back into use through innovative and sensitive design. Previously empty and under threat, the integrated design resulted in the magnificent restoration of a cherished landmark and an attractive and successful residential scheme.
