Design in Details

3 Brunswick Street is an end terrace building in a dense, mixed use city centre setting; surrounded by bars, restaurants, shops, hotels and residential uses.

The proposal reuses the existing building to provide a 15 room hotel, with a bar at basement and ground floor level. The project seeks to support Liverpool’s visitor economy while bringing a long term underused asset back into active use.

Key design moves prioritised operational clarity and a low impact external approach; working with the existing fabric and window positions; and improving day to day functionality for guests and servicing.

  • Change of use with minimal external intervention; the building envelope is retained; street presence is protected; change is focused internally.
  • Clear guest journey; reception led operation; bar activity concentrated at the lower levels for legibility and management.
  • Access strategy within existing constraints; an internal lift is proposed to serve all floors; two accessible bedrooms are included; where level changes prevent step free access from the street, arrival would be managed through staff assisted arrangements and suitable equipment, subject to detailed design.
  • Waste and cycle storage resolved internally; no external curtilage is available; bin and cycle storage are accommodated within the basement; kept out of public view.
  • Sustainable location; city centre connectivity supports a public transport led approach; no on site parking is proposed.

Incredible Result

The scheme has been developed to unlock value through reuse rather than demolition; delivering visitor accommodation within an established mixed use area; and reactivating a building that has not supported its former office use for some time.

The approach limits visual change while improving functionality. Waste storage is contained internally; cycle storage is provided; and the building’s existing openings are retained to support natural daylight to guest rooms without external remodelling.

Access has been addressed transparently. Existing level constraints are acknowledged; and the proposal includes lift access to all floors, designated accessible rooms, and a managed arrival process supported by staff and appropriate equipment; subject to detailed technical design.

This summary is indicative and is provided for portfolio and marketing purposes. The final scope, layout, accessibility measures, and external treatment remain subject to statutory approvals, detailed technical resolution, and compliance with any applicable conservation area requirements and Building Regulations.
