Interior of Modece’s Old Fox Yard studio

Located in the heart of Stowmarket in Suffolk, #4 at The Old Fox Yard is the present premises of Modece’s own architectural practice. The project involved the restoration, refurbishment and adaptation of a Grade II listed timber framed 17th century coaching inn. The design approach was to creatively preserve, integrate and showcase its heritage value while pioneering sustainable construction techniques. The result is a modern working environment with a historical fabric & natural materials that accommodates the needs of a growing business and attracts a talented team to the small architectural practice. In the wider picture #4 is the linchpin to Modece’s vision to the development of the old Fox yard as a vibrant cultural quarter for the town.
