R1 Construction Announces Exciting Partnership with Base: Architects & Planning

13 Dec 2024

R1 Construction are thrilled to announce a partnership with Base: Architects & Planning on an exciting new project to transform a former Shrewsbury care home into 14 stunning residential apartments.

Lymehurst Care Home, located on Ellesmere Road, closed its doors earlier this year after serving the community for over forty years. The 19th-century building will now be converted into modern apartments while retaining its historic charm.


The scope of works includes the full refurbishment of the existing structure, enhancements to the building’s facade and the addition of contemporary features to ensure the apartments meet modern living standards.


Ben Tomkinson, Managing Director of R1 Construction, said: "We’re proud to apply our expertise to this distinctive project, seamlessly blending the character of a historic building with the functionality and elegance of modern residential design. Lymehurst has been a cornerstone of Shrewsbury’s community for decades, and we’re privileged to play a role in shaping its future.


"In collaboration with Base, we’re excited to restore this cherished building, transforming it into exceptional apartments that celebrate its rich heritage while offering stylish, contemporary living spaces that meet today’s needs."
