Modern addition in a medieval context of three linked buildings, containing offices and workspaces for young businesses in the creative sector

The Terrace offers a number of managed office, studio and/or workshop units, on reasonable and flexible terms to small businesses and individuals in the creative industries sector.

Three gabled buildings connected by glazed footbridges at first floor level. In plan and height the central volume is the largest. The volumes are sized to fit into their context, the materials and placement echo it, with state cladding, brickwork and small alleyways between them. Two of the buildings are steel framed, and the third load-bearing brick.

The three buildings house 24 offices, 14 studios and 15 workshops. The Terrace is one of three centers Lincoln Council has part-funded to try and raise commercial development in the area.
