The Gatehouse
The Gatehouse marks an exciting new chapter for Fox Construction Solutions as our new Head Office. This project involved the refurbishment and internal fit-out of a Grade II listed, previously unoccupied property, transforming it into a welcoming and functional workspace for our growing team.
As we had outgrown our former premises, this upgrade provides much-needed space and a modern working environment, while preserving the charm and character of the historic building within The Perran Foundry.
The refurbishment works included the installation of traditional box sash timber windows to replace the aging originals, the construction of new toilet and shower facilities, and the application of high-quality floor, wall, and ceiling finishes throughout. New services were also integrated, including data infrastructure, fire and intruder alarm systems, and access control, ensuring the building meets the latest standards in safety and connectivity.
Located within the historic Perran Foundry, a site once central to Cornwall’s mining industry and renowned for manufacturing key components such as winding engines and waterwheels, The Gatehouse proudly celebrates its industrial heritage. This rich history is honoured through the display of historic photographs throughout the office space.
