The Pearson Building, Derby
The Pearson building is sited on King Street, Derby, adjacent to St. Helen's House. This project comprises a large office space on the first floor (around 2000 square feet) with ground floor studios. The complex will front conveniently onto Arthur Street and is due for completion in autumn 2021.
Before restoration and renovation:
The plans:
Derby's Premier Health and Beauty Hub
The ground floor design includes 5 studios/offices, each with a floor area of 300 to 500 square feet. The Pearson Building studios are intended for use by health and beauty businesses such as sports injury treatment, hair design, nail care and so on.
The studios will benefit from a generous communal reception and waiting area. Your clients will appreciate the comfortable and relaxed surroundings as they await their appointment and the privacy whilst they are with you.
Now that the 'secret' of the Pearson Building Health and Beauty Hub is out, you need to make your application now. Why? By getting in early, your studio can be customised so that it fits your business needs perfectly.
Headmaster's House
Running parallel to the Pearson Building development is the Headmaster's House renovation. The Headmaster's House is so-called as it was indeed the residence of the headmaster when St. Helen's House was Derby School.
The plans include a café (subject to planning) plus offices upstairs (850 square feet) with an attractive external space, shared with the Pearson Building. The café will serve both the offices as well as the studios and the wider public - the Pearson Building and Headmaster's House development is destined to become a buzzing new meeting and working space in the city of Derby.

St Helen's House, Derby
The grade I listed building was in a very poor state of repair but was considered to be the best large Georgian townhouse outside of London. The house was built as a gentleman's townhouse by the local architect Joseph Pickford. It then spent 150 years as the home of Derby School before it's most recent use as an adult education centre. The building was closed by Derby City Council in 2003 because of the mounting costs of essential repairs. The building was purchased by Richard Blunt Limited in 2007.
St Helen's House has been converted into the office headquarters of Smith Cooper (a Midlands accountancy company).
