Approach

This project involved design and refurbishment of Grade II Listed Losehill Hall, a 144-bed youth hostel located in the Derbyshire Peak District National Park.

Construction

The works included the reconfiguration of the existing facility to bring it in line with YHA’s “Blue” standard. Re-modelling of the classroom accommodation to allow a wider range of activities to take place. Reconfiguration of the upper floor to create staff accommodation. Re-modelling of the Mews building at the rear of the site to make this a standalone facility to cater for groups, families and disabled guests. Full mechanical and electrical services were also upgraded.

Contract Period: 32 weeks

Finished Build

The improved facility will act as a flagship building for YHA and will be used predominantly as an educational facility.
