Margate Treasure

Posted by Jaime Bishop

Fleet have been instructed to review the refurbishment of the historic Pettman’s Warehouse on Athelston Road in Margate. The grand old building shares some common features with the similarly aged HatHouse project in Luton – including proportion, massing and construction. HatHouse comprised the complete development of the former purpose built hat factory to provide accommodation for a range of fledgling creative offices spaces and a retail and food and beverage offer on the lower floors. HatHouse was the 2 of 2 projects Fleet undertook for The Culture Trust in the Luton Hat District.

Fleet have been working in Thanet since 2004, with a focus on heritage reuse and regeneration, completing the redevelopment of the Grade II listed 17-18 Royal Crescent and Grade II listed 19-21 Harbour street and charlotte court cottages in Ramsgate alongside the current projects for the Fort Road Hotel and Shakespeare Hotel and Public House in Margate.
