Leicester architect relocates to former shopping arcade

Maber Architects has moved into new offices in a former shopping arcade in Leicester.

The company has relocated its offices to the top floor of the Victorian-era Grade II listed Silver Arcade in the city centre.

Originally built in 1899, Maber has carried out what it is calling a “sensitive” full refurbishment of the entire third floor.

A statement on Maber’s website reads: “Formerly a shopping arcade, we have re-imagined the floor space to create a flowing workspace with a variety of working environments, from formal areas to a wide range of informal areas, including stand up tables, a family kitchen and a 3D printing zone.

“The interesting spaces created in the arcade have allowed us to completely re-think our way of working and employ a more creative and flexible workplace strategy.”

The firm’s previous offices were on de Montfort Street in Leicester.
