\n Cameron Bosque Brooks Architects, known as CBBA, have opened up their offices at the old HSBC bank building, now known as The Property Vault.\n<\/p>\n
\n To celebrate, the team held an opening party to welcome businesses from across the area to their new base on Market Hill.\n<\/p>\n
\n Grant Cameron, the director at CBBA, said it was “exciting” to restore the former HSBC bank into a “great space to do business”.\n<\/p>\n
\n The HSBC branch in St Ives closed its doors on April 18, 2023, and was one of 114 banks to do so in the space of five months.\n<\/p>\n

\n Now, however, the space has been transformed by the local architects.\n<\/p>\n
\n The architects stripped back the old banking hall to give it a new purpose, all while retaining its historic character.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We’ve incorporated our studio, meeting rooms and a welcoming entrance area, as well as a state-of-the-art VR room in the former bank vault, that will help our clients visualise their building projects long before they’re built”, said Grant.\n<\/p>\n
\n Cameron Bosque Brooks Architects have worked on a number of local projects and specialise in residential, heritage and commercial architecture.\n<\/p>\n
\n The company “reimagine workspaces, create homes filled with light, and preserve the character of historic buildings”.\n<\/p>\n
\n Speaking at the launch party for the Property Vault, Grant said: “It’s more than just an office for us though, as this opening party proves – we can now act as a creative and business hub where people can come to meet and share ideas.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It’s a great space for that.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We hope to collaborate with more businesses for future events, and continue to contribute positively to the local business community.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The Property Vault is located at 17A Market Hill in St Ives.\n<\/p>\n
