The firm of architects behind the refurbishment of Clarendon House in Harrogate has taken up residence in the landmark building it played a key role in transforming.

Seven Architecture is now based in a suite on the first floor of the building in Harrogate town centre and joint letting agents Carter Jonas and Savills have also successfully let units to Raworths Solicitors, Hill Cannon and Up & Running.

In addition messrs Bramall & Ogden have also let a suite on the first floor, completing the letting of this part of the building while one of the retail units on the ground floor fronting on to Victoria Avenue has been let to Paca as a cafe/private clinic.

Martin Wood of Seven Architecture commented: "We have been involved in this refurbishment from the outset and therefore fully appreciate the quality of the office space provided notwithstanding its prominent town centre position.  Despite the economic climate the Seven Architecture business has continued to expand and Clarendon House provided the obvious solution to our space needs."

John Webster of letting agents, Carter Jonas, commented: "The success of recent lettings leaves only the fourth floor of 5,500 sq ft and part of the third floor available as offices.  We are close to letting part of this space - on the ground floor there is strong interest in the retail units fronting Station Parade but nothing is signed as yet.  The units would suit anyone seeking from 800 sq ft to 2,800 sq ft looking for modern prominent and affordable town centre retail space."
