Ashton House was a flagship property of Milton Keynes architecture in the late 70’s, a Miesian icon in the forward thinking new city. Fast forward to 2015 and it was languishing and largely empty.

The fabric, envelope and services infrastructure were original, tired and a liability, but some elements had to be retained due to the partial occupancy and it being a rolling rather than single phase programme. This provided a constraint, as did the highly diligent local planning authority, which we continue to liaise with to improve the external amenities and signage. Woodhouse provided:
