Gilder’s Yard was a complex regeneration project for Grainger plc. Fronting three streets within the Jewellery Quarter conservation area, the project included the restoration of the Grade II* Listed Ashford & Sons building along with new blocks to firm 158 residential apartments with shared communal facilities and commercial space. Using themes uncovered during research carried
out by Artist and Landscape Architect Rob Colbourne, we referenced and repurposed pattern, texture, material and forms synonymous with the Jewellery Quarter and crafts associated with the site. The GHS patterned terracotta facade is a good example of this.
