Plough Maltings


Regeneration and conversion of historic brewery to characterful apartments

Plough Maltings is a landmark regeneration project transforming a historic brewery building in Burton upon Trent into a high-quality residential development. Once a key part of the town’s brewing heritage, the long-vacant site has been reimagined to provide 32 bespoke apartments, blending industrial charm with modern living. Our team was responsible for delivering the full technical design package, ensuring the seamless integration of contemporary construction standards while preserving the building’s unique architectural character. This involved resolving complex structural challenges, coordinating with conservation specialists, and producing detailed technical drawings that enabled a smooth transition from concept to construction.

Our expertise in technical delivery was crucial in unlocking the potential of this heritage site. By carefully balancing restoration principles with modern functionality, we helped create a development that respects the past while providing high-quality, energy-efficient homes. From intricate detailing to regulatory compliance, our work ensured a successful transformation of the maltings into a vibrant residential community. Plough Maltings now stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful design and technical precision, breathing new life into one of Burton’s most iconic buildings.
