Simpsons Small Mill and Grain Silos Conversion

Yorkshire Design Developments Ltd acquired this former brewery site close to Clarence Dock on the edge of Leeds City Centre and, following the successful development of the Malt House building, the second phase of the project commenced in early 2002.

Ove Arup was confirmed as a tenant for the Small Mill building, which was converted to provide the company with modern open-plan office accommodation.

Part way through the refurbishment contract, Termrim Construction was instructed to utilise four redundant steel grain silos as an extension to the Small Mill.

This unique construction process involved significant input from all members of the construction and project teams to ensure that the requirements of the client and tenants were achieved and the handover date met.

Termrim Construction received an honour at the Leeds Architecture Awards 2003 for the Small Mill and the RIBA White Rose Award for Excellence in Architecture 2004 for the Silos conversion.
